Car of the Week: 1957 DeSoto Fireflite convertible One owner has gone out of his way to make this '57 DeSoto Fireflite convertible his own.

Like all his other efforts to find, restore and care for his beloved DeSotos, however, the Newnam, Ga., resident says it was worth every bit of the extra effort.

La Jolla Concours d'Elegance to feature first Bugatti April 22-24 The La Jolla Concours d'Elegance will celebrate the 113 year history of Bugatti with a special glimpse of the first Bugatti ever made. The first "real" Bugatti to bear the Bugatti name was hand tooled in 1908, the Type 10 La Petit Pur-Sang, the Small Pure Blood or Small Thoroughbred. This incredible automobile set the standard for all Bugatti designs and completely revolutionized the automotive engineering industry. Some would consider this vehicle to be one of the most important parts of automotive and racing history and the La Jolla Concours offers up an extremely rare opportunity to view this automobile in person along with dozens of impressive examples of Bugatti on Sunday, April 24th, 2022.
