Even if the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is a glorified museum on a suspiciously well-groomed golf course, I can’t sit here and pretend that ridiculously pretty race cars aren’t ridiculously pretty. So you just sit right there and look at these things.
The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was a sight to behold with all manner of drop-dead gorgeous vintage machinery on display. Unfortunately, that’s also its problem. It’s no longer an event for cars. It’s a glorified museum on a golf course.
If there’s one feature I miss from old cars, it’s the hood ornament.
Earlier today, we did a story on the most expensive cars sold at the Pebble Beach Auctions. That was a fun story to write, because we can all relate to not being able to afford even a single tire on one of those cars.
Pebble Beach is Mecca for people who love cars. It’s not just for the rich and the richer. It really is for everyone who loves beautiful, fast, and wildly incredible machines. We’re going to be there, and you should come hang out.
Although Jared Leto will drive an Infiniti in drag as the Clown Prince of Crime in Suicide Squad, the producers should have called McLaren Special Operations before choosing that Vaydor body kit. I think this insanely purple 570C suits him better.
The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is the highlight of a long weekend of events designed to celebrate the art of the automobile. It's also an opportunity for the wealthiest and most particular car enthusiasts in the world to show off their opulence. Being neither wealthy or even that particular, we did our hilarious…
Without a doubt, the premier classic car show in North America is the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Each year, 200 impeccable cars descend on the 18th green at Pebble Beach and compete for the coveted Best in Show.
The Jaguar XK175 debuts at Pebble Beach today with a special aero package, 510-hp, 461 lb-ft supercharged V8 and electronically-limited 174 mph top speed. Only 175 cars will be built at a cost of $104,500... kitty's got nails.
The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is this weekend, which means the new Morgan EvaGT will debut. This is the car's second teaser and we really don't think we could take another one. Make ours ash-framed please. [WCF]
Pebble Beach will see the unveil of the 2+2 Morgan EvaGT sport coupe. It'll ride on the Aero chassis, get a 306HP BMW inline-6, sprint to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and return 40 mpg. Hopefully, without the cross-eyes. [ MotoBullet]
Is this The Stig spotted this weekend at Pebble Beach or just a Top Gear fan-boy engaging in some strange form of CosPlay? (Hat tip to Paul!) Photo Credit: Pzeissig
Apparently Nissan didn't get the message all the cool stuff was happening at the Woodward Dream Cruise today and they went ahead and revealed the 2011 Infiniti M at the stinky old Pebble Beach Concours.
Nissan's released this teaser of the 2011 Infiniti M, set to debut August 14th at the Pebble Beach Concours, kinda. It's actually going to be digitally revealed, projected onto a blank foam model. Weird.
After the first dark and stormy teaser shot, Bentley's revealed yet another dark kink in the new Grand Bentley's sheet metal ahead of its Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance reveal. Full press release accompanying the night-life shot below.
The Devon GTX was supposed to be based on the Dodge Viper. Unfortunately, Scott Devon's $5.5 million bid for the Viper brand and factory was turned down. What can he use instead?
As we marveled at the 2009 Volkswagen CC running around Monterey, the folks at VW revealed that the sleek four-door coupe will be priced below $27,000 when it goes on sale in the fourth quarter of this year. The announcement was made at the Pebble Beach Concours, making it less than 100th the cost of the Veyron 164…
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport debuted at the Pebble Beach Concours last weekend, and chassis number one was promptly auctioned off the following day by Gooding & Company for the obnoxious sum of $2.9 million. "Standard" pricing for the ultra-exclusive convertible is set at €1.4 million, or about $2 million, so a…
Well, not really. But if Nick Hogan did have one, this is totally the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe he'd drive. In fact, we bet he has a poster of this exact car on his jail cell wall right now. We'd also say the odds are high on this Phantom sticking out like a sore thumb at the Pebble Beach Concours.

Only 350 of the 2009 Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series supercars will ever be made, but that hasn't stopped one from appearing at the Pebble Beach Concours. The $320,000 Benz has a staggering 661 HP, but that's topped by the 6.0-liter V12's 738 lb.-ft of torque.
(Thanks to J.F. Musial for the tip!)
