About This Experience
The Concours is an international spectacle where expert judges evaluate pre-war and post-war masterpieces on historical accuracy, technical merit, elegance, and authenticity, and on Concours Sunday spectators can see many cars before the formal show presentation begins. It is not merely a car show, but a highly competitive contest of preservation and restoration, with a strict selection process that invites only about 200 historically accurate cars from roughly 1,000 applications. The Awards Ceremony concludes the event with the Best of Show presentation, and that top award can significantly elevate a vehicle’s historic and monetary value. The annual class structure also features distinct categories for classic cars and historic coachbuilt icons, including examples such as Chapron Coachwork and Lamborghini Miura.
Our curated access provides a VIP experience with entry to the exhibition field, exclusive access to official hospitality tents, and private viewing areas adjacent to the winners' ramp; beyond the main display, the event also features modern debuts, forums, luxury exhibitions, and the RetroAuto marketplace with rare collectibles and fine art. Services encompass luxury accommodation on the peninsula, private ground and air transfers, and priority reservations at the region's top dining establishments. This experience is perfectly suited for those wishing to pair rarefied automotive history with the pinnacle of California social luxury.
This experience is perfectly suited for those wishing to explore Monterey County, with time in Carmel and Carmel-by-the-Sea, alongside scenic drives between the concours grounds and the peninsula’s most celebrated coastal settings.
