BMW Zagato Roadster revealed

The BMW Zagato Roadster has been revealed at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. IS it heading for production? Earlier this week we had a tease for the BMW Zagato Roadster, a soft-top version of the BMW Zagato Coupe we saw just a few months ago at Villa D’Este, and now we get the real deal with a reveal at Pebble Beach.

Early cars, fashion on display at the Petersen

Automotivated, a new exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, traces the evolution of clothes worn in cars--from the bulky circus-tent stuff people had to wear to keep from freezing to death in the jangly, open-topped conveyances of 100 years ago, up to the height of the European Concours in the 1920s and '30s, when what you and your date wore was just as important to winning best of show as the styling of your Delahaye/Delage/Talbot Lago. “In the earliest days of the automobile, you were sitting on the car, you weren't sitting in it,” said Leslie Kendall, curator at the Petersen. So the first section of the exhibit shows people (mannequins dressed as people) in heavy, practical overcoats, scarves and goggles.
