“Meteor” Takes Pebble Beach

The Pebble beach event, one of the world's most well-attended car show, has already announced the best car for this year. It is the “Mormon Meteor,” a 1935 Duesenberg SJ Special. It is owned by Harry Yeagy, a Cincinnati collector. The Mormon Meteor was originally raced by Ab Jenkins who rode it to a 24-hour speed record of 135.58 mph back in 1935. At a 2004 auction, Yeagy bought the Meteor for $4.45 million. Whoa!
