Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance Rolls Into Carmel!

By Sam Barer

Sound Classics

One of the most amazing events of the Pebble Beach week is the Tour d’Elegance.  The Tour takes many of the classics competing for trophies at the Pebble Beach Concours together with past competitors on a winding drive through the Monterey Pensinsula.  The purpose is to ensure that classics not only look perfect, but also run strongly.  Cars that finish the tour get the tie-breaker during Sunday’s judging against competitors that don’t.

Around 11AM classics ranging from the earliest Brass-Era vehicles to supercars from the 1970s pull into Carmel for lunch.  It’s one amazing sight to see thousands of people drooling over dozens of cars worth in excess of $150 million.

Check out the video of the amazing classics pulling in and then storming away after lunch—and try not to drool too much!
