Title: Car Show in Monterey Calif Post by: Frenchy Dehoux on August 12, 2009, 16:37:10 pm If anyone is interested I will be leaving Phoenix on Thursday morning and heading to Monterey as I was invited to bring my 1958 Toyopet to a show. The show is south of Salinas Calif at Toro park my 58 is the second oldest Toyopet known in the US and the first one will be there as well. Hope to see some of you there I know it is not a VW but I like all type of cars. Here is a picture of it.
Thanks Frenchy Title: Re: Car Show in Monterey Calif Post by: Zach Gomulka on August 12, 2009, 16:48:50 pm I'll go with you Frenchy, but I'm ditching you to go to Laguna Seca this weekend ;) :D

Make sure you find the "Concourso Italiano." Title: Re: Car Show in Monterey Calif Post by: Frenchy Dehoux on August 12, 2009, 17:30:33 pm Zach which way will you be driving ?

Thanks Frenchy Frenchy, Neat ride 8) 8) 8) I remember those early days of To#¤ta, Datsun and Honda. Us VW guys use to see them and laugh with a typical comment of "look, there is a pice of JAP junk. Well the world has changed and I don't think many of us are laughing anymore. Have a safe trip and a great show. ;D ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Car Show in Monterey Calif Post by: Zach Gomulka on August 12, 2009, 18:01:27 pm Zach which way will you be driving ?

Unfortunately, I have a car to build! :P Title: Re: Car Show in Monterey Calif Post by: Rennsurfer on August 13, 2009, 00:13:25 am Frenchy, once again... you've done a spectacular job with a neat old automobile. Very well done. Wish that I could attend... but I'm too busy this weekend.

All I can say I had a great time and drove 1675 miles. Drove my Carmel and saw many Ferrari / Porsches / Lambo. People were going crazy when they saw this car they taught it was the coolest car ever. Thanks Frenchy Title: Re: Car Show in Monterey Calif Post by: Rennsurfer on August 17, 2009, 14:18:55 pm AWESOME news, Frenchy. Congrats.
Title: Re: Car Show in Monterey Calif Post by: Frenchy Dehoux on June 01, 2011, 02:23:40 am Well it has come time for me to sell my 1958 Toyopet and moving on to my next project and because I need the room for my NSU to come home and continue on than the Ghia. The Toyopet was sold to a To#¤ta dealer in Puerto Rico and will be displayed in a museum been created for the car. I have another 1959 Toyopet in the back yard which will be in the restoration mode in a couple of years once we move out and have the space to start on it. Frenchy Title: Re: Car Show in Monterey Calif Post by: kingsburgphil on June 01, 2011, 07:00:41 am I love that beaucoup rare Toyopet. It's a shame you can't share it with more people here in the states, oh well. I like others here have enjoyed the Monterey weekend.
We did the Concours/Races/Auction thing for nineteen years straight up till 96'. Good luck on your new project, though I'd really like to see you do a Traction Avant ;) |
