My Top Ten Non-Tuckers at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Although I spent 95% of my time at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance behind the ropes of the Tucker class, I did notice several other amazing automobiles on the field. Here were my top ten Non-Tuckers.

I usually applaud your taste, Howard, but that 1937 Cadillac V16 Series 90 Hartman Cabriolet has got to be one of the most awkward abortions ever put on wheels! Also, I’d bet that Mercedes “SS” 710 may actually have started out as a VERY late 680 S-modell; the hood and radiator tank had to be raised about an inch in production to accommodate the higher 7.1 litre SS engine.

Howard, the photo of a 1929 Duesenberg J Murphy Town Limousine, Lehrman Collection, is wrong, it’s is a 1935 Duesenberg JN Bohman & Schwartz Convertible Coupe (2585 J-560).
Congratulations.On the Roslyn landmark Society
Nice choices, Howard. I love the Mercedes Benz 710.
Love the high body lines of the ‘35 Duesenberg!
