2009 Concorso Italiano<\/h1>\n

Under new ownership, Concorso Italiano<\/a> was largely improved for 2009. Held at the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch, it was just one stop down from the Historic Races<\/a> and had the refreshing golf course feel of year’s past. If our 2009 Concorso Italiano gallery<\/a> is any indication, then the Concorso will be a major event in 2010.<\/p>\n

Concorso Italiano<\/a> is one of Pebble Beach weekend\u2019s<\/a> most stunning events, packed full of Italian metal new and old, and we mean each of those in both senses. It is held at the golf course at the Bayonet & Blackhorse Golf Club.\u00a0Concorso Italiano\u00a0features\u00a0nearly 1,000 exotic vehicles and is a can\u2019t miss part of the traditional Monterey Bay Car\u00a0Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year a highlight display was built around Franco Scaglione design including the three Alfa Romeo<\/a> BATS and the prototype Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale<\/a>. These were joined by a Stanguellini body that was under restoration.<\/p>\n

To demonstrate power in numbers, 15 Ferrari 288 GTOs<\/a> were assembled along with one of the rare Evolution models. Not far from these were some of the best DeTomasos<\/a> including Elvis Presley’s completely original Pantera<\/a>, still intact with a bullet hole in the steering wheel.<\/p>\n
