The Most Famous Concours d’Elegance: Pebble Beach and The Quail, California at Its Best
Monterey Car Week features the prestigious Pebble Beach and The Quail Concours d'Elegance. These events showcase the finest classic cars, culminating in awards like the 2024 Best of Show at Pebble Beach for a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports.
Anyone who thinks the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is the highlight of Monterey Car Week (which actually spans ten days) might be likened to someone who believes the cherry on top is the entire cake. In reality, those ten days are packed with endless automotive events centered around classic, historic, and luxury cars. Among them, two Concours d'Elegance stand out as the epitome of American car collecting: Pebble Beach and The Quail.
Pebble Beach holds historical significance and recognized prestige. Not by chance, like the grand finale of a theatrical performance, it concludes the incredible Californian spectacle each year. This historic Concours began in 1950 as a support event for a road race in Monterey. The hotel and its golf course, overlooking the famous 17-Mile Drive, a scenic road lined with celebrity homes, have since become the stage for what many consider the most important Concours in the world.
