Concours d”Elegance Preview at Pebble Beach, Ca. (8/15-8/19,2007)
First conducted in 1950, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is often said to be the world’s premier celebration of the automobile. Only the most beautiful and rare automobiles are invited to appear on the famed eighteenth fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links each year, and connoisseurs of art and technology congregate to see them.
The annual affair, which has raised over $9 million for charity, includes a series of related events, such as the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance presented by Rolex, RetroAuto and the Pebble Beach Auction presented by Gooding & Company.
