During that same time, new housing construction hit its low inflection point.
Fortunately, things are improving: Post-bankruptcy Chrysler is now controlled by Fiat and has rehabbed most of its ailing lineup, and truck sales are rising as the housing market slowly rebounds. Our long-term Ram was a witness to the latter in more ways than one: While the truck was under our care, eight staffers used the heavy-duty hauler to move to a new dwelling, with another handful assisting friends with relocation. We should have stocked the truck’s center console with U.S. Postal Service change-of-address packets.

Almost every August since 1950, some of the world’s rarest and most expensive cars gather on the Monterey Peninsula in California. This weekend started with the Pebble Beach Road Race and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 1950, which is now one of the most prestigious car shows on the planet. As time wore on, more events were added, including the Monterey Historic Automobile Races, the precursor to last year’s inaugural Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
In recent years, high-end auctions, smaller car shows and driving events have joined the calendar, making it a week-long automotive festival. It’s a must-see event for automobile enthusiasts of any stripe, with sounds, smells and sights to dazzle the senses.
Photo Editor Kurt Niebuhr and I roamed the Motorsports Reunion paddock, Concorso Italiano, Pebble Beach Concours and a few auctions last August, camera in hand, and returned with an artful collection of photos.
