This year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance did not disappoint. The crowds arrived very early. Cold & gray did not cast a cloud over the excitement surrounding Sunday’s event. Congratulations to the Mullin family for their Best of Show Voisin.
Best of Show Winner: 1934 Voisin C-25 Aerodyne owned by Peter and Merle Mullin

Up at 6am and out the door of our hotel by 7am was the start of our day after deciding which of my 3 outfits to wear. It was cold and damp: raincoat, cashmere sweater, scarf, stylish hat and comfortable flats. Of course I like to look good but I’m not sacrificing weather appropriate for fashion. Next year – gloves.
Armed with the camera and car guide we hit the field by 8:30 for well over 100 photos some of which I’ve included on this slide show. FYI: all photos were taken prior to the customary walking around the field with a glass of champagne.
Over the next few weeks I’ll post different highlights of the 2011 Pebble Beach Car Week on the weekend edition of this blog. Please enjoy!
