"I was honored to attend the 74th edition of the Concours d'Elegance, making the 2 1⁄2-hour drive from San Francisco to Pebble Beach with my sister, Kris, who was visiting from out of town. It was a gorgeous, sunny day in the 60s, and guests came dressed to impress in attire befitting one of the world's premier collector car competitions."
"We especially loved walking around the Concept Lawn, where futuristic dream cars and prototypes dazzled onlookers. We learned that one Italian concept car was sold to six different buyers in one day for over $1 million, proof of the passion and prestige surrounding these automobiles. We were especially drawn to the elegant Bugattis, Porsches, and Alfa Romeos, each judged not only for style and technical merit but also for history, originality, and accuracy of preservation or restoration."
"The hospitality elevated the experience to another level. We thoroughly enjoyed the Club d'Elegance-from incredible seafood to omelet stations, meat-carving tables, and a make-your-own Bloody Mary bar, and dessert station-every detail was decadent. All in all, we loved our experience. It was a day of elegance, artistry, and celebration-both for the cars and for the guests-for one of the most iconic automotive events anywhere."
