Monterey Car Week 2021 is already almost 3 weeks gone, and there were some amazing events and showcases all across the county. The Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance<\/a>, the Monterey Motorsports Reunion<\/a>, and the Quail Auction<\/a> are just three events that celebrate the greatest classic cars, new cars, and all forms of automotive excellence. It is also, unfortunately, a playground only for those with deep pockets.<\/p>\n

Why we don\u2019t really have anything against the wealthier individuals that enjoy cars, there was one event during Monterey Car Week that didn\u2019t appear on any official calendar, wasn\u2019t listed in the official Car Week guide, and was held an entire county away in Seaside, California. This event was for the common person with shallow pockets, with bills to pay and wants to take part in events with his or her car as it stands.<\/p>\n

Welcome, then, to the Concours d\u2019Lemons!<\/p>\n

What Is It?<\/h2>\n

The Concours d\u2019Lemons is what happens when the people behind the 24 Hours of LeMons junker endurance race decide to also hold a car show. It is a celebration of the rusty, the weird, the truly abominable, and pretty much anything that is as far from an elegant car as possible.<\/p>\n

Have a rusty old VW Kombi (aka the VW Bus)? Bring it down!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Halfway through installing a body kit on your hunk of junk? Bring it down as well!<\/p>\n

\"1995<\/a>
1995 Plymouth Neon Roadster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That\u2019s the real beauty about the Concours d\u2019Lemons. It doesn\u2019t matter what you have, as long as it\u2019s something weird, wonky, rusty, or just absolutely regular, it\u2019s welcome. You\u2019ll find old British MG roadsters next to Ford Pintos, and a complete \u201cwhat the hell is that?\u201d car next to something that looks like it came out of the 1970s with its shirt ripped and one hell of a hangover.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t believe us? Take a look at this\u2026 well, we were going to say car, but it looks like it needs a bit more duct tape to hold it together.<\/p>\n

\"Datsun<\/a>
Datsun stationwagon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And the hangover…<\/p>\n

\"Interior<\/a><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t to say that some actual worthwhile cars, that would be welcome at a lower-price-of-entry Concours d\u2019Elegance, aren\u2019t present. For example, this lovely 1968 Riley Elf Mk III:<\/p>\n

\"1968<\/a><\/p>\n

Sure, it has a tiny bit of rust around the headlights and yes, the paint doesn\u2019t exactly match, but it\u2019s an example of a car that is as welcome at the Concours d\u2019Lemons as any other.<\/p>\n

What Kind Of Classes Are There?<\/h2>\n

The answer to that seems to be somewhere between \u201chow many do you want\u201d and \u201cokay, that\u2019s too many.\u201d There are also a wide variety of prizes for all the classes, with some actual decently large name sponsors taking part like Hagerty and Griot\u2019s Garage.<\/p>\n

Some of these classes include Rust-Belt American Junk, with sub-categories of Ford, GM, Mopar, and Other, as well as Der Self-Satisfiedkrauttenwagen German car class. However, one of our favorites is Kommunist Kars, which has the exceptional award of \u201cVladimir Ilyich Lenin Medal for Most Glorious Achievement in Transportative Advancement for Use Upon Billiard-Smooth Highways as Are Uniformly to Be Found Inside Workers\u2019 Paradise.\u201d That is word-for-word from the Concours d\u2019Lemons website<\/a>!<\/p>\n

It is also rumored that bribes are accepted, and our intrepid cameraperson that attended the 2021 edition that ran during Monterey Car Week was able to actually provide evidence as such:<\/p>\n

\"An<\/a><\/p>\n

So, Literally Any Car?<\/h2>\n

Yep, and it doesn\u2019t even have to be road legal!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

What The Hell Is That?<\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t know. But the beer and the whiskey were labelled \u201cBribe,\u201d so maybe we shouldn\u2019t ask. Although there is a \u201cWTF?!?? In Show\u201d award, so maybe the\u2026 car?… was going for it<\/p>\n

Okay. So This Happens Only During Monterey Car Week?<\/h2>\n

Nope! This wonderful event is held anywhere between 3 to 4 times per year, depending on who accepts the bribes under the table to actually host the event. Of course, there is also the Concours d\u2019Lemons that takes place during the 24 Hours of LeMons<\/a>, of which the next full 24 hour race is going to be held next weekend at the High Plains Raceway in Deer Trail, Colorado!<\/p>\n

Of course, the biggest show happens during Monterey Car Week. Where else would you get a good row of absolutely normal British roadsters?<\/p>\n

\"British<\/a><\/p>\n

Or a fine example of a supercharged 1980s Toyota MR2 Mk I?<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

So What Is It Really All About?<\/h2>\n

The whole thing is meant to be a jab in the eye at the wealthy, and to be honest, we like it even more than the actual Concours d\u2019Elegance held at Pebble Beach. There\u2019s just something so refreshing about being able to wander around a Concours in a Beavis and Butthead shirt instead of having to buy one of those silly straw hats with the black band around them, as well as get out your sports coat\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Attendees<\/a><\/p>\n

We won\u2019t go so far as to say that it\u2019s low-brow fun. Seeing as there are cars involved, despite the rust, it\u2019s more middle-brow than anything, but the whole point of it is just to have fun<\/i>. Hell, we bet one judge was chosen on the strength of his pith helmet and mustache alone!<\/p>\n

\"Attendees<\/a><\/p>\n

And it seems another judge took a left instead of a right to get to the correct Concours event\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Attendees<\/a><\/p>\n

It ties in perfectly with the whole reason that the 24 Hours of LeMons exists, and is a perfect companion celebration next to it. As the motto for the 24 Hours goes, \u201cracing shouldn\u2019t just be for rich idiots, it should be for all <\/i>idiots.\u201d If that doesn\u2019t define the Concours d\u2019Lemons perfectly, we don\u2019t know what would. So, we just agree with the stickers that almost all the cars were bearing\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

Power to the sour!<\/p>\n
