Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance: A Centerpiece of All Motor Events
During one particular week of August, Pebble Beach loses its peaceful and serene ambiance. It gets full of constant movement and celebration, with thousands of people from all parts of the globe coming together to appreciate the history, restoration, and evolution of vehicles.
The week is called Monterey Car Week. However, the most anticipated day during this week is the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. This event is usually the peak of the competition, and it’s the finale.
People come with all types of rare cars, some from the pre-war period and others from the post-war period. Unique vehicles of all types, with most of them valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars and some millions, are put on display during this event. The marking points are usually the authenticity of a vehicle, its history, and the style.
It goes without saying that it is a must-attend event for all car enthusiasts. However, you do not need to be a car expert to enjoy the event. People who want to gather and have fun can always find something to enjoy and explore.
Here is a little about its history: it is a charitable automotive event that began in 1950, and over the years, it has grown to be the year’s main attraction of all motor events. The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance name literally translates to “a competition of elegance,” and the elegance is always reflected in the type of cars displayed.
