"With traditional auto shows fading into the past, this year’s focus shifts from last year's electric vehicle headlines back to the resurgence of internal combustion and hybrid-powered cars, marking an exciting wave of new car debuts."
The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance started in 1950 so that California’s car enthusiasts could rub shoulders among rare classics one Sunday morning in August.
Seven decades later, the Concours itself is now the finale of a weeklong automotive orgy of hypercar debuts, million-dollar restomods, vintage racing, concepts, auctions, rallies, and oddities. It’s kind of like the Olympics for car enthusiasts. The biggest change since is that the term “Pebble Beach” used to connote a staid beauty contest for cars on a foggy peninsula; now it’s used colloquially to refer to the whole week.
