History of Monterey Car Week
Monterey Car Week is a premier automotive event held annually each August on California’s Monterey Peninsula. It began in 1950 with the inaugural Pebble Beach Road Race, created by the Sports Car Club of America and local enthusiasts to showcase European sports cars. That same year, the first Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was held, a judged show of elegant classic cars.
After the Pebble Beach Road Race ended in 1956 due to safety concerns, The Concours continued and gained international prestige, eventually evolving into Monterey Car Week. Throughout the decades, the event grew to a wide range of automotive experiences, including:
-
- Historic races at Laguna Seca (Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion)
-
- High-end auctions (RM Sotheby’s, Gooding & Co., Bonhams, Mecum)
-
- Exclusive manufacturer unveilings and concept debuts
-
- Numerous concours and rallies (e.g., The Quail, Concorso Italiano, Tour d’Elegance)
Today, Monterey Car Week attracts collectors, industry insiders, and enthusiasts from around the globe, showcasing everything from vintage classics to cutting-edge hypercars. It remains one of the most prestigious and diverse automotive events in the world.
