Got money? We got rides! . . .



Yes, it's true, we've sold out completely. In a craven and crass attempt to attract advertising from Ferrari and Lamborghini (or their liquor, or their women), we're pimpin' their hardware at fourwheeler.com . . .

Actually, we're hangin' in Pebble Beach over the weekend with our homeboys from Chrysler, who held a hush-hush confab today for members of the media about new products to be released next year. Of course, if we said any more, we'd be hurled into the ocean, so you'll just have to wait awhile to find out.

But hey, we've got the rest of the weekend to kill at the Concours d'Elegance, the biggest, most bad-ass classic and collector car show in North America---heck, maybe on the whole planet. Thousands of Bugattis, Duesenbergs, Astons, Lambos, Jags and assorted custom one-offs are brought out and showed off, cruised, dusted, polished and primped for the entertainment of the landed aristocracy . . . kinda like the Westminster Dog Show, come to think of it, only for cars instead of mutts.

Anyway, the beeeg show kicks off tomorrow with millions of dollars of rolling stock spread out across the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach---and yes, the show is open to the public. And rest assured, if there's a vintage truck, Jeep or 4WD rig of any kind, we'll find it and post it up pronto. For now, though, have fun with the few picks we selected here and test your Classic Car IQ. How many of these four can you identify by make and model year? And no fair peeking at hood ornaments. (Answers to follow . . . eventually).
