Sunday July 20, 2003. First, I would like to thank Richard Koshalek, Ken Okuyama, Jay Sanders and all the volunteers at the Art Center College of Design for putting on this great show. Guests included Peter Brock, Chuck Pelly, Barry Meguiar, Reeves Callaway, and Jay Leno. Now onto the show...

The Viper lineup, missing from view is a '01 GTS Sapphire [argh!]...

Great pics. Thanks a bunch for sharing. Looks like it was a great day. I would have went to heaven if I saw that M-B 300 g-w and Jag E.

Thanks for the compliments. Credit to Brad Manhattan Beach for some of the photos too that I forgot to mention earlier.

In case if you're wondering what does this Art Center College have to do with car shows? Well, here's a bit of info about the Art Center College of Design, Transportation Design Program. Pasadena (Los Angeles), California:

"No educational institution has had a greater impact on the automobile industry than Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. For more than seven decades, Art Center has been educating the automotive designers who have provided outstanding leadership for the industry and created some of the most memorable cars of yesterday and today. It is estimated that more than half of the world's car designers are Art Center graduates, and alumni of the college currently hold the top design positions at the studios of Ford, GM, DaimlerChrysler, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Volvo, Nissan, Aston Martin, Hummer, Corvette, Mazda, Toyota/Lexus, and Volkswagen North America, among others..."
