Carmel is a very busy little village during Concours Weekend, but it’s probably at its absolute busiest on the Thursday before the show itself.  That day is the Tour d’Elegance, when a selection of the cars participating in the Concours take a drive around the local area and finish their run on Ocean Avenue, Carmel’s main drag.  Nick and I drove into town so that we could witness the event, and were quickly outmatched in finding any resemblance of “street parking.”  Luckily for this Ferrari 246 GTS owner, there was a spot available at just the right moment, and he got himself a spot.  Luckily for me, I happened to get a good picture of this pretty little blue 246 GTS.  I don’t see them often, and in a color like this shade of blue, it’s a dark-horse favorite of mine when it comes to old school Ferraris.  I was lucky to have grabbed this shot when I did, as I don’t think I saw this car again except in passing.
