Monterey Car Week & Concours d’Elegance
It is that time again, for the mega car event called the Monterey Car Week & Concours d’Elegance. It runs from August 15th thru the 21st this year (next week for those of you without a calendar in front of you).
The event dates back over half a century, where only 200 of the best collector cars in the world roll onto the legendary 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links to be shown and compete. Only a handful of those will receive official recognition for style, technical merit and historical accuracy.
But the Concours is only the final event in a packed week celebrating the classic automobile! All over Monterey County, classic cars take to streets, golf courses, parks and the world-renowned Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, surrounding visitors with automobiles from yesteryear.
