20 years ago, my friend Sal & I celebrated what would have been John Lennon's 50th birthday with a special show on KCPR. Here's the intro from that show ... today John would have been 70.
We made it to Monterey in our 1969 Fiat 500 'Roadster' for Concorso Italiano -- no top meant bundled up with jackets, beanies, glove and, for me, a blanket across my lap. The sun eventually came out and it was beautiful day to hang out with cars, Fiat America friends, food & wine. It was great to see the new Fiat 500, too! It was a fab display and I've signed up to follow the new Fiat 500 with Ciao Fiat. The drive home was a bit of an adventure with ever-fading headlights, but we made it!
