On Tour: Debrett's New Season
From Glyndebourne to Glastonbury - A social calendar for the 21st century
18 August, 2013 - 18 August, 2013
Pebble Beach Golf Links, California
Once each year, on the third Sunday in August, about 200
of the most prized collector cars and motorcycles in the world roll
onto what is often called the best finishing hole in golf - the
famed eighteenth fairway at Pebble Beach. Tire meets turf and
transformation occurs: the stage is set for one of the most
competitive events in the automotive world. The occasion is the
prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Originally a small social event paired with a road race through
the pine and cypress forests of Pebble Beach, the Pebble Beach
Concours has grown into the top-ranking collector car show in the
world. People from all over the globe come to compete in or simply
enjoy the event here at Pebble Beach.
The Concours is not a contest of speed, but of excellence.
Automobiles and motorcycles are judged for their historical
accuracy, their technical merit and their style-and the best garner
reward and recognition.
Special Features and Classes for the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours
d'Elegance will be announced in coming months.
"Each of these categories by implication also highlights the
contributions, creativity, ingenuity and, because it is an
important aspect of the marques' success, persistence of their
creators. Their personalities are embodied in the marques'
character and in their names, drawing attention not only to the
creators of the featured marques but also to the other pioneers of
the automobile whose fabulous, fast, historic contributions fill
the 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links." -Sports Car
Digest
The success of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance rests in large
part on the knowledgeable experts who help to select and judge the
automobiles and motorcycles invited to appear on our show field.
These experts also make a significant contribution to the
automotive world as a whole by helping to establish an accurate
record of these vehicles.
The automobiles on our show field and the new cars on our concept
lawn cover more than a hundred years of automotive style and
technology. Our automotive past is ever expanding and this Concours
is committed to celebrating automotive excellence both past and
present. Increasingly, as in the early days of the Concours,
innovative concepts and new cars debut at Pebble Beach. A total of
17 concepts and new cars were unveiled at the 2012 event.
Join thousands of enthusiasts will be on hand to celebrate these
vehicles and enjoy the company of others who share their
passion.
