Maybe I missed, did Jay Leno show up with his Duesenberg?

It looked like there were more Model A's and T's than any others and more Fords of all years than other cars. Hard to tell how many cars there were because it seemed that the same cars were going by many times.

Thanks for posting the link Ed. It is always one of my favourite ways to close out the year by having a look at the video of the event. Some very nice Brass Ts to look at and a bunch of other Exotic marques. Great to see the folk getting them out.

I just finished watching the video. Didn't have any time earlier. Thank you Ed M for posting it.

For what it is worth, I saw two Duesenbergs, one is seen twice in the first half (about) of the video, and it is not driven by Jay Leno. Near the end, there is a second Duesenberg, a coupe, and it is driven by Jay!

Sure a lot of wonderful cars there! I sure would like to go on that some day.

And it all started with the Eastwood's What a tradition.

It's been many years since I was in So. Cal. at the right time of year. Maybe someday. :D

Thanks Ed for posting!! There are some other UTube videos available as well.

My '12 Torpedo arriving is at 7:44. The parade leaving starts at 24:36 with Peter Eastwood handing out the tour routes. Local T club member John Bothwell is driving his Steam car out at 28:50 and I'm leaving at 36:22. It was a cold and Foggy trip actually Both Ways but a really fun time again.

Thanks to the HCCA and the Eastwood family!

I do understand that participants in the Holiday Motor Excursion come from a wide area, I hope those who are local were not affected by the fire in the Los Angeles/ Hollywood area. Priority is to save lives,... Rebuilding will take a long time.
