Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

  • 1953 Fiat 8V Ghia Coupe

    These Italian cars prove Ferrari isn't necessarily the master of the concours.

  • 1927 Miller
    Pebble 2010: A Miller for the Ages

    In a past life, I wrote about the Miller 91 that Car and Driver editor Karl Ludvigsen found in a dank barn in France, and brought to the U.S.--and later saw installed in the National History Museum. Today, it's another spectacular Miller that made its way to the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours...

  • Morgan Eva GT
    Pebble 2010: Morgan Eva GT Live Photos

    Along with the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, we've brought you all the details of the new Morgan EvaGT as they've trickled out over the Internet in the past few weeks. Today, at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours' concept-car lawn, we were able to lens the tradition-breaking EvaGT for the first time...

  • 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500K Special Roadster
    Pebble 2010: Mercedes-Benz 500K

    While Mercedes-Benz made a show of its own with a massive gathering of its 2010 SLS AMG sportscar, it also found a place of honor on the lawn at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with this near-perfect 1930s roadster. Shown for the first time at the 1934 Berlin Motor Show, this...

  • 1955 Ghia Streamline X "Gilda" 2 Door Fastback Coupe
    Pebble 2010: Ghia, In All Its Glory

      Design studios rarely receive the kind of comprehensive museum treatment of established car brands. It's no easy thing to assemble a cohesive group of cars that eventually were sold by different car companies, each with a different purpose in mind. As one of the honored marques at this year's...

  • 1957 Jaguar XKSS 728
    Pebble 2010: Jaguar XKSS by the dozen

    It's been a special year for Jaguar, which introduced a new 2011 XJ sedan earlier this year to widespread acclaim. A highlight of its corporate summer must have been today's showing of a dozen XKSS sports cars at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours. The XKSS has a compelling history. Sixteen cars in all...

  • 2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

      We've told you all about the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in previews earlier this month, but at today's 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, we grabbed our first live photos of the world's new record holder for production-car top speed. Bugatti introduced the car on Saturday at The Quail 2010, a rival concours at the nearby Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley, California, against a backdrop of more than a dozen pre-war Bugatti race cars and touring cars. Today, it sat on the concept-car lawn on the forecourt of the Lodge at Pebble Beach, flanked by other newly minted luxury exotics like the...

  • 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic
    Pebble 2010: 1937 Bugatti 57S Atlantic

    The Bugatti 57S Atlantic was, in many ways, ahead of its time. Even now, over 70 years later, it features elements just beginning to make their way into the average passenger car, such as aluminum body panels. This example, on display this weekend at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance...

  • 1933 Delage D8S De Villars Roadster
    Pebble 2010: 1933 Delage D8S De Villars Roadster wins Best Of Show

    There can be few higher honors for the world's elite car collectors than Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. This year, the award goes to a 1933 Delage D8S De Villars Roadster, selected from among the hundreds of cars and tens of contenders vying for supremacy on this highly...

  • 2011 Bentley Continental GTC And GTC Speed 80-11 Editions
    Pebble 2010: 2011 Bentley Continental GTC And GTC Speed 80-11 Editions

    The Bentley Continental range is starting to get a little long in the tooth, having been on sale in its current form since 2003. Despite this, Bentley is milking the most out of its Continental range for the 2011 model year, releasing two more special editions based on the Continental GTC and GTC...

  • Morgan EvaGT
    All-Aluminum Morgan EvaGT Revealed

    From the hydrogen-powered LIFEcar concept to the Aero SuperSports to its history of wood-framed cars, Morgan spans an incredible variety of technology and aims with its cars, all wrapped in a classically-styled package. For this month's 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Morgan is turning its...

  • Rolls Royce Phantom with bespoke picnic set
    Pebble 2010: Picnicking On The Concept Lawn With Rolls-Royce

    Back in July we brought you the full details on Rolls-Royce's bespoke picnic set for the Phantom, and today we snapped live photos of the car and kit in what may be their native environment: the concept lawn of the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The extramuros eating ensemble is even more...

  • The Quail 2010

    Call it a wrap - yesterday's motorsports gathering, The Quail 2010, is over, and with this post, MotorAuthority is switching gears to tomorrow's Pebble Beach Concours. Our first outing to the Quail Lodge's eight-year-old affair brought us an up-close view of some stunning race cars from the 1950s, and to some of the best Shelby Mustangs and cars from 1934 that could be culled. We ran into more compelling cars in the parking lots than we've seen at some smaller concours affairs around the country. We also learned what not to drive, when a white Ferrari limousine pulled in two spaces to the...

  • Lotus Exos Type 125 at Pebble Beach

    Pebble 2010: McLaren MP4-12C Live Images

    The McLaren MP4-12C made its North American debut this weekend in Pebble Beach, following it up with an appearance on the concept lawn at the lodge. Though cordoned off behind taunting white plastic chains on the putting green, we still managed to snag a few shots for your viewing pleasure. In case...

  • Quail 2010: Shelby Mustang Mania
    Quail 2010: Shelby Mustang Mania

      With a frail Carroll Shelby at the helm, The Quail 2010 paid homage to some of the greatest Mustangs in history on Friday. And if you've never seen a 'Stang older than the 2011 BOSS 302 we brought you yesterday, the Quail's collection of pony cars provided an instant history lesson. Paired with...

  • 2010 Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept
    Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept Debuts At Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

    Jaguar’s year long celebration of its 75th anniversary continues with the unveiling today of the Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept, a special one-off design project on display at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The new concept is the company's first demonstration of the design customization...

  • Quail 2010: Shelby Cobra Corral
    Quail 2010: Shelby Cobra Corral

      While The Quail 2010 celebrated 45 years of Carroll Shelby's Mustangs in a prime collection of GT500s, GT350s, KR convertibles and one bare-metal shell of an ur-Shelby Mustang, a smaller circle of roadsters connected the dots between the 'Stangs to Shelby himself. A curated quartet of Shelby...

  • Quail 2010: And Now, A Ferrari Limo

    After you drown in high-cholesterol classics from Bugatti, Packard, Allard and Shelby all day at The Quail 2010, it's easy to overlook some of the simply amazing cars in the parking lot of the Quail Lodge. The cars left idle on the Quail greens alone would put whole concours events in less moneyed zip codes to shame. Then again, shame is freely available to anyone willing to pay. Case in point: this totally atrocious Ferrari limousine we spotted on our way out of the Quail motorsports gathering, on the golf-course greens that double as overflow parking during this heavily traveled, $400-a-pop...

  • Quail 2010: 1950s Racing Stunners

      This year's Quail motorsports gathering underscored the "motorsports" half of the equation, with a display of rare race cars that avoided the destruction you might expect to happen to lightweight, fragile classics like these two exceptional cars. The 1955 Kurtis 500SX above has a unique...

  • Quail 2010: A Pair of Packards
    Quail 2010: A Pair of Packards

    Before World War II, Packard was synonymous with Cadillac or Rolls-Royce, a standard bearer for luxury vehicles from any continent. This year at The Quail, a pair of Packards flaunted the elegant, opulent details that gave the brand its stellar reputation--fleeting though it was. We've captured two...

  • Quail 2010: Bugatti on Parade
    Quail 2010: Bugatti on parade

    It's called a "motorsports gathering," but to the observers sipping crisp local wines and sampling the world of classic cars one continent at a time, The Quail is more than a gathering. For us here at MotorAuthority, it's an epiphany of rarely seen machines driving under their own power, an...

  • Quail 2010: VSR Concept Sports Rod
    Quail 2010: VSR Concept is a Cadillac Hot Rod

      It's rare to see a new concept car at a megawatt event like The Quail, without an official manufacturer badge on its flanks. But the VSR Concept Sports Rod is no ordinary concept, and its chief designer is no unknown. The VSR is the work of Wayne K. Cherry, who led GM's design department through...

  • 1935 Alfa Romeo 6 C Aerodinamica Spider
    Quail 2010: The Alfa Romeos

    This selection of the Alfa Romeos on display at the 2010 Quail Lodge Motorsports Gathering shows a sampling of the Italians on display.
