Monterey Car Week 2022

We are lucky to be in California and a short drive from the annual Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance and "Monterey Car Week." I played hooky yesterday to attend an event honoring Maurizio Corbi, the award-winning designer for Ghia, Bertone and Pininfarina. Corbi was instrumental in the designs of the Ferrari F456, F50, F355, and 550 Maranello. See more about Maurizio at Cardesign | Maurizio Corbi Art & Design.

2022 marks the Ferrari Club of America's 60th anniversary. So there were a LOT of Ferraris and famous Ferrari people in town for the festivities.

I spotted a Dallara Stradale on the freeway as I drove to Monterey!

This must have been Batman's first Batmobile (or maybe his great-grandfather's Batmobile.) It was parked on a street corner in Carmel. The speedometer shows that it is certified by Gotham Police. It has special features like Bat-Claxon, Bat-Light

2007 Lexus ES350- Overall paint job and body repairs

 This customer brought in their 2007 Lexus ES350 for an overall paint job and body repairs. They wanted a color change to "Dark Sapphire Blue" by Sherwin Williams. The customer wanted to get repairs done on the quarter panel, replace the rear bumper that the customer supplied, and we found hidden damage to the support for the rear bumper that we replaced as well. The customer decided on using Urethane Base Coat/Clear Coat with a Urethane sealer. 

2007 Toyota Corolla- Bodywork and Overall Paint

 This customer brought in his '07 Corolla to get a fresh coat of paint and to replace a few parts. There were stress cracks in the bumper so we replaced it along with the front door panel and fixed a minor dent in the left fender. He decided on using Urethane paint with a Urethane sealer. We prepped the delaminating (peeling) paint and this Corolla was as good as new! 

2016 Tesla Model S Damage repair

 This customer came in wanting to repair damage to their bumper and quarter panel. There were scratches on both sides of the front bumper and a few scratches on the right quarter panel on the wheel arch that extended onto the corner of the quarter panel. This was a quick and easy fix, and the customer left satisfied that their Tesla looked brand new again!

2016 Ford C-Max Energi-Collision/Damage repair

This customer brought in their 2016 Ford C-Max Energi to have damage repaired. The damage consisted of dents on both the left and right quarter panel, replacing both left and right outer taillights, and the upper rear bumper. We pulled the quarter panel back out to original condition on both sides, replaced the upper rear bumper, replaced both taillights and it was ready for paint! Just look at it sparkle!
