Akin to splurging on a first-class airline ticket or tasting an exceptional glass of wine, it\u2019s never easy \u201cgoing back\u201d to what you can realistically afford. The same can be said of car shows; enjoy an afternoon on the lawns at Pebble Beach, and you\u2019ve just raised the bar, for better and<\/em> for worse, to appreciating the automobile. Hence it was with some surprise that I was impressed after attending a local car gathering held of all places, at a car storage facility. But to be fair, this is<\/em> the opulent world of Southern California car culture, so leave those visions of an old Sears building behind.<\/p>\n

Meet Tony Principe<\/h2>\n

Behind most novel ventures is a person that found a way to create reality out of a fleeting thought. For both the car storage facility named Finish Line Auto Club and the Art of the Automobile show, this would be Tony Principe. As he explained, he and his father started buying and rehabbing distressed commercial properties in 1994. As real estate in Southern California tends to be at a premium, they combined its demand and industry knowledge to build a successful business.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A new idea<\/h2>\n

Being cars guys with no more room left in their garages, Tony and his dad couldn\u2019t resist the temptation in 2000 to keep a few of the spaces in one of their buildings for themselves. As they spoke to their car buddies, they realized how others had the same challenge of finding space in a secure location, hence the incentive to create Finish Line Auto Club; a \u201ccountry club\u201d of sorts designed for car guys, by car guys.\u00a0 Members buy their spaces (car condos) and create their own vision of the ultimate man cave. A common lounge area encourages socializing and is used for private events etc. Tony\u2019s first location in Westlake was so successful that a second was built near John Wayne Airport in Orange County.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u00a9 2023 Rex McAfee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Art of the Automobile<\/h2>\n

Because the Orange County Finish Line has a large indoor ally down the center of the building, Tony figured it was time to hold a car show among the owners, so Art of the Automobile was born. The first edition was held in 2022, themed Evolution of Design. Tony himself picked the cars among the condo owners with the goal of placing the first and last of the same model next to each other (e.g. 1965 Porsche 911 next to a new 911).\u00a0 This year\u2019s show was titled \u201cBeauty in Design\u201d and aimed to show early race and touring cars alongside their contemporary counterparts (imagine a Ford GT-40 next to a modern Ford GT).<\/p>\n

As for the cars on display, the variety was huge, and almost all of them simply came from the collections of the unit owners at Finish Line. Some cars were literally rolled out of their units onto the show aisle. Some of my favorites were a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, a 1927 Bugatti Type 35B, and a 1967 Gurney Eagle F1 racer.\u00a0 Oh\u2026and I guess I shouldn\u2019t forget an original condition, Shelby Cobra!

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

While Pebble, Amelia, Goodwood, and Lake Como all have their place in the elite world of the Automobile, the casual atmosphere and quality cars left me with a fresh experience I look forward to repeating next year. Tony Principe set out to fulfill a niche in the car enthusiast world and created so much more. Well done.<\/p>\n
