Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

The Pebble Beach Concours d?Elegance is an automotive charitable event held each year on the Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California. A Concours d?Elegance (French, literally "a gathering of elegance.") is an event open to classic and vintage cars in which they are judged for originality, function and presentation. Classes are commonly broken down by type, marque (manufacturer), coachbuilder, country of origin, or time period. Traditionally a car is selected a as "The Best of Show" from among the various class winners. Class judges are usually experts on a particular category or manufacturer. Each year a number of honorary judges, generally individuals who have made significant contributions to the automotive industry or motorsports, participate as well.
