Since 1950, Pebble Beach has been host to the finest exhibition of show cars in the world<\/p>\n

The first Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance was held in conjunction with the first Pebble Beach Road Race where Phil Hill won the Road Race driving a Jaguar XK120. Best of Show that year went to a 1950 Edwards R-26 Special Sport Roadster. The event is open to both prewar and postwar collector cars in which they are judged for authenticity, function, history, and style. Classes are commonly arranged by type, marque (manufacturer), coachbuilder, country of origin, or time period. Judges select first-, second-, and third-place finishers for each class in the event. Of the various awards given at the car show, the most significant is Best of Show. Winning a class blue ribbon is an honor that takes both an amazing car, and equally serious determination and money by owners. It is not unusual for owners to invest several million dollars to get a \u201c100-point\u201d car. That\u2019s why Pebble Beach Concours traditionally attracts the most serious collectors in the business. Thousands of spectators converge on the 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach golf course each year to see the parade of prestigious, invitation-only competition vie for one of the most coveted awards in the car business \u2013 the Best of Show. The most awarded manufacturers aren\u2019t surprising, with Rolls-Royce, Bugatti, Duesenberg, Mercedes-Benz and Packard having won many times over the years. Here\u2019s the list of Best of Show winners.<\/span><\/p>\n
