Met Camilo Pardo today for the first time at LaJolla Concours

[GTMikey]

I pulled onto the lawn today in LaJolla in my yellow 1968 Shelby GT500KR convertible and a few minutes later this judge walks over and starts looking at it and asks about the color. I start talking and look at his name badge and it was Camilo. So I pulled out the phone and showed him the heritage and we chatted for a few minutes, way fun. Great Day, great cars, lot of Pre-War but some US Muscle too...

The only way Camilo could possibly be more dapper is with a double-breasted jacket and spats.

Didn't recognize Camilo with a tie, mom would be proud !!

 

[RADGT]

Tie, hat, not wearing a Ford GT shirt and racing jacket...he cleans up well but I m guessing he is more comfortable in his other uniform we know so well.

 

[bonehead]

Jeez. Are you 7 feet tall? Cool surprise. Look forward to shaking his hand at Rally VIII.

 

[STORMCAT]

Camilo had to be forced to wear those clothes , I am sure about that !!

 

[Vince H]

That's a great story and a great photo! Very nice Shelby vert!

Looks like it was a really interesting and diverse concours, thanks for the link to the other photos.

Re: Camilo, I NEVER expected to see a photo like that. White slacks, white shoes, fedora and all!!

Blow it up poster size and bring it to Our next Rally and we can get it personally signed.
