Ed Gilbertson is well known as Chief Judge Emeritus of the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance. Less known is his adventurous youth, his fascinating role in the missile deterrent program, and later his involvement with motorcycle culture.
Ed has owned motor cycles and automobiles since the age of thirteen, ranging from his 'Hardly a Davidson', various British sports cars, the rare and important Ferraris for which he is best known. And most recently he has come full circle with his 1932 Henry Ford Roadster for which he won first in class at the 2023 Grand National Roadster Show.
Here Ed tells his story, reflecting with enthusiasm and humility on a life that's been quite a ride.
