The Cobble Beach Classics display and event poster feature two well-known vehicles:
1957 Ferrari 250 LWB Tour de France — These competition cars were constructed in Superleggera form by Scaglietti. This car was crashed during testing at the 1957 Nurburgring 1000km race, and then again during practice for the 1957 Tour de France — but was hastily repaired and ran to a second-place finish. It then finished eighth in the Buenos Aires 1000 km before being imported to the U.S. In 1971 it was restored to the same livery it bore in its 1957 Tour de France race.
1929 Bentley Speed Six Sport Tourer — One of the world's finest automobiles is the British-built Bentley of the 1920s, considered by many to be the original sports car. First introduced to the public in 1921, this was the start of Bentley Motors' quickly rising reputation for outstanding quality, elegance and rapid acceleration.

48"w x 28", acrylic on canvas, Private Collection
A very rare F1 themed work from Jay Koka pays tribute to the great Canadian driver Gilles Villeneuve. Created in 2020 as the event art for the Ferrari Club of America Meet scheduled for Mont Tremblant in July 2020, the art has been held since the cancellation of the event due to COVID19 restrictions.
Gilles Villeneuve (January 18, 1950 – May 8, 1982), spent six years in Grand Prix motor racing with Ferrari, winning six races and widespread acclaim for his performances.
He drove for the Italian team from 1978 until his death in 1982. He won six Grand Prix races in a short career at the highest level. In 1979, he finished second by four points in the championship to teammate Jody Scheckter. Villeneuve died in a crash caused by a collision with the March car driven by Jochen Mass during qualifying for the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder.
The FCA Mont Tremblant (Quebec, Canada) event has been rescheduled for July 2022.

Jay Koka "Like many others, this event had been cancelled two years in a row because of COVID concerns and restrictions.

34”w x 44”, acrylic on canvas, private collection
The Drift No 4 continues a series of paintings
started in 2000. Its predecessors have featured a
Jaguar XKD, a Porsche Carrera GT (2008) and a
Porsche 918 (2016) each as different in style and
execution as the one before.
Being young and inexperienced at the time, the
Miura was pretty much the first "supercar" I
became aware of at its debut. I recall thinking
that it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen.
I didn't think I had much of a chance at owning
one as I drove my Austin-Healy 3000 Mk III which
kept me in the poor-house trying to keep it
running (...but the girls liked it). So it's somewhat surprising that it took me some
25 years to get around to doing a painting of the
car that I still consider one of the most beautiful
around. It has stood the test of time well and is a
testament to the Bertone and Lamborghini folks
that were responsible for its creation. This is the poster/event art for the 2018 Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance (September 2018, Ontario, Canada).
