Summer 2025

SUNDAY, AUGUST 17 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance www.pebblebeachconcours.net/event-calendar T en days of Monterey County car events conclude with the 74th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. In 2025, featured classes will commemorate three centennials: the short-lived but significant Invicta brand; the Italian manufacturer Moretti, known for its small-displacement vehicles; and Chrysler, an innova- tive name in American automotive history. Additional classes celebrate the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, the creations of Virgil Exner and other surprises. The show field opens to car entrants at dawn, when spectacular automobiles line up on the Pebble Beach Golf Links. Credentialed spectators are welcome from 5:30 a.m., and judges begin evaluating entries based on technical merit, elegance and history at 8 a.m. A live show and awards ceremony kicks off at 1:30 p.m. that paves the way for the Best of Show presentation, held on the 18th fairway at 5 p.m. As it has become one of the world's preeminent car events, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance has also made a significant impact on local philanthropic organizations. In 2024, the event raised a record $3.13 million to distribute through the Pebble Beach Company Foundation. The Pebble Beach Concours has raised more than $41 million for charity since it was founded in 1950. 138 C A R M E L M A G A Z I N E • S U M M E R 2 0 2 5 PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE Photo: Kimball Studios/Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
