The world\u2019s most prestigious celebration of the automobile occurs every August on the Monterey Peninsula in California. From hearing the whaling shriek of a Formula 1 car to a gavel hammering the winning bid of $48M for a 1962 Ferrari<\/a>, one could say there are extremes in every direction you look (and listen).<\/p>\n

Yet ultimately, the cream that rises to the top over the 9 days of insanity are the car shows that highlight the world\u2019s best in automotive history. Yes, \u201csingle marque\u201d shows exist for makes like Porsche (Werks Reunion) and Ferrari (Concorso Italiano<\/a>). But to truly \u201cexperience Monterey\u201d, I have selected three requisite events, each having distilled something unique, and thereby earning membership to what I refer to as the \u201cTriple Crown\u201d.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance featured a collection of previous \u201cBest of Show\u201d winners, including this 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic. \u00a9 Rex McAfee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Concours on the Avenue in Carmel<\/h2>\n

We start on Tuesday with the best downtown car show anywhere; Concours on the Avenue<\/a>. It started in 1987 when Atlanta car enthusiast Doug Freedman was on vacation with his wife Genie visiting Carmel CA. Standing on the corner of Lincoln and Ocean Ave, he peered up and down what is considered by many to be the most charming street in America, and thought \u201cwhat a beautiful place to have a car show\u201d.<\/p>\n

His friends and associates all sang the same song; \u201cYou\u2019ll never be able to do it.\u201d But after 5 years of negotiations with the city, approval was finally granted in 2006 for a show the following year. With last year\u2019s date canceled, I was especially eager to return for what would be the 14th \u201cConcours on the Avenue\u201d.<\/p>\n

Looking at packed streets and smiling faces, I can attest to stating that what Doug and Genie have created is far beyond a\u201ccars on Main St.\u201d event.<\/p>\n

First and foremost is the underlying theme based on the show\u2019s motto: \u201cSophistication with a dash of fun.\u201d A former national president of the Ferrari Club of America, Doug knew all too well the serious nature of judged car shows, so his first order of duty was to ensure people enjoyed themselves.<\/p>\n

Provided to every entrant are chairs placed next to their assigned parking space. This encourages owners to stay by their cars and facilitates many a conversation with enthusiasts walking by.<\/p>\n

In some cases, hours of storytelling ensure which is far more memorable than just walking by another \u201cperfect Porsche<\/a>\u201d. Attendance is free (no typo) and proceeds go to the Carmel Foundation<\/a> which supports local senior citizens, so combined with the jovial atmosphere and charm of downtown Carmel, you could say Doug has created the perfect show for all.<\/p>\n

The Quail: A MotorSports Gathering<\/h2>\n

Moving on to Friday is \u201cThe Quail, a Motorsports Gathering\u201d. Tracing its origins leads us to event founder Gordon McCall<\/a> who was just 15 when he started volunteering for parking lot duties at the nearby Pebble Beach Concours. As the years passed, the car enthusiast worked his way up through the ranks until he eventually found himself judging on the lawn; quite a journey to say the least.<\/p>\n

Reflecting upon his many years at Pebble, he realized that a show of such caliber naturally brings with it enormous pressure on its entrants. The stress of transport, car prep and last-minute mechanical adjustments are expected challenges at the world\u2019s most prestigious show.<\/p>\n

Hence when it came time to sculpt his own event, he decided the social element would be the cornerstone, versus the level of a vehicle\u2019s perfection. The result became \u201cThe Quail, a Motorsports Gathering\u201d, and having just spent the entire morning here, I can\u2019t help but think that his vision was \u201cright on the money\u201d as I\u2019ll explain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The eclectic nature of The Quail, along with an absence of judging teams, makes for a gathering with a relaxed feel for all. \u00a9 Rex McAfee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Starting with the spectators, Gordon is adamant that everyone is a VIP. No special wrist bands for exclusive tents or food lines; entry gives everyone access to all of the great food pavilions, complimentary champaign, and of course, a spectacular show on the lawns at the Quail Lodge and Golf Club.<\/p>\n

As for the car owners, they don\u2019t have to worry about teams of judges swabbing the undercarriage of their vehicle for dirt; no traditional judging teams exist. Instead, both show attendees and industry specialists determine award recipients. The show is orchestrated by the team of professionals at Peninsula Signature Events, and while Gordon\u2019s official title is Director of Motorsports, his input and direction go far beyond his title.<\/p>\n

As Gordon told me during an interview, \u201cCars represent fun!\u201d and I\u2019d have to say this event hits the mark dead center; bravo Gordon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Numerous food pavilions surround the field offering freshly prepared cuisine from various parts of the world. Enjoying lunch overlooking a trio of Ferrari Daytonas adds to the atmosphere. \u00a9 Rex McAfee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Concours d\u2019Elegance on Pebble Beach<\/h2>\n

Lastly, we arrive at Sunday\u2019s Concours d\u2019Elegance on Pebble Beach\u2026GLORIOUS PEBBLE! To be fair, other events have certainly earned a \u201ccheck box\u201d on the world-calendar of judged car shows. The Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este on Italy\u2019s Lake Como is one of my dream assignments, and running a close second across the English Channel is the Salon Priv\u00e9 in Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n

But having established an unparalleled reverence among the world\u2019s fine-automobile \u201ccognoscente\u201d, Pebble Beach has evolved to be the pinnacle of judged automobile events with a panache all to its own.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
After the cars are unloaded across from the equestrian center, each must make their way under their own power onto the 18th fairway where they are escorted to their assigned parking space. \u00a9 Rex McAfee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Aptly stated in Robert Devlin\u2019s book \u201cPebble Beach, a matter of style\u201d, America in the late 40s was experiencing \u201cpost-war automotive euphoria\u201d. Del Monte Properties, who then managed the Pebble Beach lodge, golf course etc. wanted to expand their affluent clientele, so what not a better way to capitalize on this movement than to hold a sports car race along with a car show?<\/p>\n

The Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance was born in 1950 and quickly became the place to be seen. And just as the original parades of elegance in late 1800s Paris showcased the most elegant and stylish aristocrats in their horseless carriages, this year\u2019s \u201cBest of Show\u201d winner followed suit with the cloud of confetti falling on a 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Autobahn Kurier<\/a>; elegance at its best.<\/p>\n

All told, Monterey Car Week holds something for everyone. Vintage racing at Laguna Seca, world-class auctions, car club banquets and so much more. But if you genuinely desire to experience the essence\u2026 or should I say \u201cmagic\u201d that these 9 summer days hold, there\u2019s nothing quite like relishing the Triple Crown.<\/p>\n
