Lou Piccinini, our section President and Sally Hinds our section Secretary, have decided not to run for re-election this coming year. Therefore, we have a wonderful opportunity to recruit new members as Officers and Directors at Large. If you are interested in serving as an officer or Director at Large, our election will be held in November. Please submit your name for consideration to the nomination committee by September 1st. See below for specifics. Lou and Sally's term ends December 31st.
Our section depends on volunteers for all the different activities including social, educational, technical, charity and driving. These could not be done without our members volunteering to assist in our program activities and serving on the Board.
Lou, as immediate past president will remain on the board and Gloria Loventhal, as past president, will no longer serve.
If you are interested in running as an officer in the President or Secretary role, please contact Denise Sheehan at - [email protected]

We really do have fun, try it!
HIGHWAY 1, DREAM DRIVE
Almost 10 percent of the 80 cars that participated in the “Dream Drive” on August 9th commemorating the reopening of Highway 1 were driven by SFBA MBCA members. This gala event was an unforgettable experience for car enthusiasts. The 80 cars that took part in the drive were selected to represent the eight decades that Highway 1 has been open through the Central Coast. The drive started in Monterey with a ceremonial lap around the Laguna Seca Racetrack, and ended at Morrow Bay with a sunset beach barbecue in the shadow of Morro Rock. Cars driven by club members included a 2011 550SL and a 1957 300SL, the newest and the oldest.
CARMEL MISSION CLASSIC
For the first time this year the Carmel Mission Classic included a Mercedes Corral. Seven members participated in this gem of a car show, held on the Wednesday of Car Week in Monterey. This is a gem of a car show, held the Wednesday of Car Week in Monterey. The smaller size of the show does not detract from the interest or importance of the cars, but rather makes it much more digestible. A handmade multimillion dollar Pagani Huayra hypercar sits casually next to the heirloom Rolls Royce of a local family. The full arc of automotive technology is on display, from a 1919 Franklin, with its overhead valves exposed, to the stunning computer controlled, turbo boosted, 550hp 2018 Mercedes GT C. Background music was provided by a jazz combo, playing nostalgic standards from the 30’s and 40’s, and a very cool Argentine Harp player.
The show is elegant and friendly, the mid-week traffic is manageable, the parking is close and easy, the surroundings couldn’t be more attractive, and the proceeds go 100% to support charities of the Knights of Columbus.
