For today’s start of the 2009 California Melee we were greeted with thunder and lighting in San Francisco. That was enough to make the locals skiddish, but only about two hours later we were feeling the arid heat of rural Northern California as we headed for our overnight in Red Bluff. The shot below sums up what the event is all about: cool vintage cars, owners unafraid to drive them, camaraderie, and deserted roads stretching across amazing countryside. We are lucky to be here. The mix of cars is different this year, with numerous first time attendees and new cars for many of the regular participants. The 1964 Corvette roadster below has black steel wheels and plenty of patina but has the feel of a car that might have been found in a SoCal used car lot in the early 70’s. The gray Porsche 912 in the center is super clean and was first to grab our attention in the morning parking lot. it also sits on capless steel wheels, a common theme on this event. At right is a 1970 BMW 2002 with attractive short bumpers and later 6-cylinder. We strained to keep up with it all day.
