Featured Events - Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
The 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance was held on August 20, 2023, in Pebble Beach, California.

The 2023 event marked the 72nd year of this tradition, highlighting its longstanding significance in the automotive world.
American Dream Cars of the 1950s Class
American Dream Cars of the 1950s was a class that celebrated one-off and very limited production cars conceived and built by some remarkable individuals whose stories are often as interesting as their cars. This wasn't about big corporations with their big buck concept cars being unveiled in hotel ballrooms or the World Fair. No, these were cars that people designed and built in their own garage or in a local restoration shop.
Best of Show Winner
The top prize went to a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster, presented by Jim Patterson of the Patterson Collection. This car, once owned by the Shah of Afghanistan, is one of only three similar cars surviving globally. This victory marked Mercedes-Benz's lead over Bugatti for the most Best of Show wins at Pebble Beach, now standing at 10.[1]
