Monterey Car Week and Pebble Beach Events

It is almost here the world cup of automotive events, Monterey Car Week and the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.  Car enthusiasts from all walks of life take over the Monterey peninsula in coastal California.   Photo: Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance website has more information on their events around the peninsula.  One big change this year is the RetroAuto is no longer at the top of the hill as one departs the parking areas.  RetroAuto is now located at The Inn at Spanish Bay and expanded to include The Pebble Beach Classic Car Forum with three days of industry experts sharing their expertise in the automotive world.  For a full run down on every car related event going on throughout the area, such as the Tour d’LeMons, Concorso Italiano, The Little Car Show and more, the Monterey Car Week website is a great source for filling your days and nights with automotive activities.The city of Carmel rolls out the red carpet for car enthusiasts.  Car Week is the theme for many store and restaurant windows as they bend over backwards to make these discriminating automotive tourists feel welcome.  Test drives are always an item to make time for as many brands have their latest rides available for sampling.  For luxury test drives it helps to work through your local dealer to book a Pebble Beach test drive as these can be very limited.
