Class. Strength. Audacity: Pebble Concours

Believe in beliefs. Believe in principles. Believe in values. Believe that heritage is something to be proud of and lived up to. So believe in the never-ending search for a better way. That everything is a work in progress. And believe in the creation of something that will challenge the beliefs of all. Believe in the past. Believe in the now. Believe in what's next.

Mascots and badges as an art form have identified automobiles since the early 19th century. This automotive jewelry is aesthetically presented annually at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where once a year, 200 of the most prized collector cars from around the world roll onto the famed eighteenth fairway. Standouts receive official recognition for style, technical merit and historical accuracy surrounded by hat-clad ladies in lace and gentlemen in seersucker and aviators. This year, the event showcased the Porsche 911 and Lamborghini at 50 and variety of significant racing and touring cars such as Aston Martin, Lincoln, Simplex, Dusenberg and French Motorcycles. Since its inception in 1950, the Pebble Beach Concours has donated more than $20 Million to charitable organizations in the greater Monterey Peninsula including $1.2 Million raised in a few hours for the Monterey Hospital. Pebble Beach, see you again in November for the Big Sur Half Marathon.
