As always at Monterey, some of the most interesting cars ran in the Pre-World War II races.

Martin Swig in his 1931 Chrysler CD-8 LeMans leads Francois Castaing in Ray Jones' very similar Chrysler, a 1929 75 LeMans. Swig and Castaing finished 2nd and 3rd.

Leo Keoshian's #6 1920 Bugatti 22/13 leads #3 Richard Morrison's 1925 Bentley 3L and #29 Graham Wallis's 1929 Lagonda 2L, and a group of other Pre-War cars into Turn 2.
Joe Harding won the race in a 4500cc. 1939 Lagonda V-12 sports car.
