More than 40 sellers from Europe, the United States and South America will offer original posters, photos, signs, rallye plates, badges and pins, models, literature and books, scarves and more — no reproductions — in the hotel ballroom. Automobilia Monterey also hosts a great silent auction. Founder Tony Singer wel- comes all car buffs and other collectors to his event, which raises money for the Monterey Rape Crisis Center. “It is the mission of this event to enable each enthusiast to buy the best from the best. Automobilia Monterey is unique in the auto world by being a focused event in a relaxed, indoor setting, and not an adjunct to a car show or race; it is devoted to only original vintage auto- mobilia. “Having on-premises professional pack- and-ship facilities contributes to the genuine ease of doing business for all involved,” Singer says. Admission is $15 for a single day or $20 for both days. www.AutomobiliaMonterey.com, (831) 659- 5335 or [email protected].
