Pebble Beach Concours Welcomes Amanda Stretton As The New Masters of Ceremonies, August 17, 2025
2025-08-17 10:00 - 18:00 | Pebble Beach Golf Links, 1700 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach, CA, 93953, United States
The 74th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance takes place on Sunday, August 17, 2025, on the famed 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links in Monterey, California.
As the culminating event of Monterey Car Week, the Concours brings together approximately 200 of the finest collector vehicles from around the world.

The 74th annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will take place on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links during Monterey Car Week in Monterey, California.

Featured Cars at the 74th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance – August 17, 2025
The 2025 Concours will spotlight several prestigious featured classes, highlighted by historic centennial celebrations and themed tributes:
Centennial Marques: A special tribute to three luxury car marques celebrating their 100th anniversaries in 2025:

Chrysler
Invicta
Moretti
The 60th Anniversary Shelby Cobra 427 – showcasing the iconic big‑block Cobra in honor of its 1965 debut
Creations of Virgil Exner – spotlighting the dramatic and influential post‑war designs by this legendary stylist
Formula 1 Racing Legends – a celebratory class honoring historic and contemporary F1 cars and innovators, timed with Formula 1’s 75th anniversary of the world championship

The 2023 Pebble Beach Concours Best of Show went to this 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster. It is considered amoung car collectors as one of the most iconic and valuable pre-war cars in the world. Its blend of exquisite design, superior engineering, and luxurious details makes it a prime example of the pinnacle of automotive art from the era.

In 2025, the featured classes include three marques celebrating major milestones: Chrysler, Invicta, and Moretti each mark their 100th anniversaries.
Other highlights include a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the Shelby Cobra 427, a showcase of post‑war designs by Virgil Exner, and a class dedicated to historic and modern Formula 1 racing legends.
This event is considered the pinnacle of concours competitions. Entry is highly selective—most entrants spend years restoring vehicles to strict standards of authenticity and condition, with individual cars valued in the mid‑six to seven figures. Acceptance alone is a mark of prestige.
In 2024, a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports, presented by Fritz Burkard of The Pearl Collection, won the coveted Best of Show award. It was the first time in the Concours’ history that a preservation-class car—unrestored and original—received the honor.

Award Ceremonies
The Concours day concludes with an awards ceremony attended by crowds lining the fairway and grandstand. The presentation of top awards—including Best of Show—often makes headlines and can significantly elevate a car’s market value. The energized atmosphere provides a memorable finale to a day of automotive excellence.
The awards ceremony at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance typically unfolds mid‑afternoon on

Concours Sunday:

The show field opens to credentialed spectators at approximately 5:30 a.m., and general judging begins at 8:00 a.m.
The Awards Ceremony and live show, which includes presentation of class winners, special trophies, and the pinnacle Best of Show, is scheduled between 1:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

For new collectors, Pebble Beach is a unique learning opportunity—displaying automotive history in real-world form. For veteran collectors and restorers, it’s a benchmark event that validates years of effort and craftsmanship.
In 2025, this prestigious gathering once again underscores why it remains the most important event in the collector-car calendar.

The historic Blenheim Palace in the United Kingdom will once again roll out the red carpet and open its doors to what is considered the crème de la crème of international car shows.
From August 27 to 31, 2025, the Salon Privé Concours will showcase an impressive collection of automobiles against the backdrop of Baroque architecture and sprawling English gardens.
This four-day gala is not just about collector cars; it celebrates British luxury, automotive history, and the legacy and traditions of the gas-powered four-wheeled revolution.
Taking place on the South Lawn of Blenheim Palace, this year’s Salon Privé Concours promises a spectacular car show like no other.
While car aficionados can admire rare classic cars, thrill-seekers will have the chance to test drive supercars from elite brands, exploring potential investments.

A 1936 Lancia Astura Pinin Farina “Bocca” Cabriolet award-winning car at the Salon Privé Concours d’Elegance Car Show on the lawns of the Blenheim Palace in the United Kingdom.
Beyond the cars, Salon Privé Concours presents an unparalleled English day out, complete with fine dining, Pommery Champagne, and a luxury retail village.
Everything a car connoisseur could dream of, from haute couture to yachts, will be on display.
Set in the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and home to the Duke of Marlborough, this event is a must-visit for any enthusiast or car collector with an appetite for luxury.
The UK’s most glamorous luxury automotive event, Salon Privé offers an opportunity to dress up and stand out alongside a lawn full of magnificently rare and exotic curated cars, luxury brands, and stunning artworks. Dress Code is “Garden Party”

“Dress code: For gentlemen, we suggest a comfortable suit or blazer with chinos and a pair of brogues. For ladies, we recommend chic daywear such as summer dresses, trousers, and jumpsuits, and welcome beautiful hats, headpieces, and fascinators, of course, on Ladies’ Day Friday. Please bear in mind that gravel paths and lawns at the Palace are not the best surface for stiletto heels….”

How To Dress
Whichever day you choose to attend, think “Garden Party” at Buckingham Palace, think Royal Ascot, and think the very best of Henley Regatta. Garden party attire should be dressy but typically not too formal, effortless but not too casual.

NEW AT GREENFIELD VILLAGE IN 2025: Exhibits: “Indiana Autos”
Indiana rivaled Michigan in the prowess and scale of its automotive industry. Established in 1898, Haynes-Apperson was among the nation’s pioneering automobile firms. Duesenberg and Marmon set benchmarks in luxury and engineering excellence.
FACTOID: Haynes-Apperson Company was a manufacturer of Brass Era automobiles in Kokomo, Indiana, from 1896 to 1905. It was the first automobile manufacturer in Indiana, and among the first in the United States. Elwood Haynes, one of the founders, worked on early types of stainless steel and was the inventor of stellite, and many of the early advances in automobile technology were first invented by the company.
The 1907 Apperson “Big Dick” was built between 1907-1908. The Apperson Big Dick had 96 horsepower and cost about $15,000. Apperson put their race engine in a 50-hp Jackrabbit runabout to create the “Big Dick” The Big-Dick 96-hp racer held the record for the highest advertised horsepower vehicle in an American automobile until 1914.Image courtesy AACA Library
McFarlan crafted some of the period’s most coveted vehicles. Stutz introduced America to its America’s original sports car.. Studebaker, initially based in Detroit, relocated its production to South Bend in the 1920s.
Furthermore, Indiana’s own Carl Fisher initiated the iconic Indianapolis 500— a racing event that remains unparalleled. We honor the legacy of the Hoosier State, spotlighting its illustrious automotive heritage.

Molto Bella Car Show History
The Molto Bella Car Show was founded by longtime friends and car collectors, Frank Todaro and David Nelson. When the local “Glenmoor Gathering Auto Show” was canceled nine years ago, the two friends saw an opportunity to create something new. Drawing on tremendous local support, they launched the Molto Bella Car Show as a heartfelt tribute to Frank’s father and his passion for cars.
The event honors Frank’s late father, who passed away from kidney cancer several years ago. This personal loss inspired Frank to ensure that all proceeds from the show benefit the Summit County Kidney Foundation, a cause close to his heart.
More than just a traditional Concours d’Elegance, the Molto Bella Car Show goes beyond featuring cars solely based on rarity, authenticity, and condition. Instead, it highlights an eclectic mix of top-level “eyeball candy” collectibles—cars that may not meet Concours standards but are nonetheless some of the most sought-after and visually captivating vehicles in the world.
Co-Owner Frank explains, “It’s all about the kind of cars and the mix of cars we pick, not just Concours. Hot rods, touring cars, electric cars, movie cars, unique cars with unique histories are all part of the mix.” He continues, “Our music is also designed to get away from the Beach Boys stuff you normally hear at cruises,” he continues. “We have a great selection of the blues playing, cigars for people who enjoy smoking, great food and a professionally laid-out space for the cars. Finally, there is no judging. People love not to be judged. Your car is your trophy … what more could you possibly need?”

Sponsorship and Local Community Support for the Event
Sponsors include Cornell Tools, the Kidney Foundation of Ohio, Summit Racing Equipment, FirstEnergy, Montrose Ford of Fairlawn, Westside Jaguar, Maserati of Akron, Alfa Romeo, BMW of Akron, Volkswagen of Akron, Cell-O-Core, Mercedes-Benz of Akron, J.W. Didado Electric, House of LaRose, Stella Artois, Howard Hanna Real Estate, RM Sotheby’s, and Todaro’s Party Center.

Detroit Concours d’Elegance 2025 Canceled: Will Hagerty Bring It Back, and Why Its Loss Matters to the Motor City
2025-09-14 10:00 - 17:00 | Hart Plaza Detroit, 1 Hart Plaza, Detroit, MI, 48226, United States
The Hagerty Detroit Concours d’Elegance has been canceled for 2025. The decision to cancel the event was made by Hagerty, which had been managing the event since 2022 when they moved it to Detroit from its previous location at the St. John’s golf course in Plymouth, Michigan.
The cancellation was partly due to challenges in attracting sufficient sponsor support and quality vehicles for the show. Despite its cancellation, Hagerty remains committed to other events, like RADwood, which is still scheduled to take place on September 14, 2025, at Hart Plaza​.
The Hagerty Detroit Concours d’Elegance at the Detroit Art Institute has been canceled for 2025 with no plans for a new start date.

Radwood At Hart Plaza Downtown Detroit – CANCELLED!!!

Detroit’s Concours Story: How the Motor City’s Automotive Heritage Was Once Celebrated and Why Its Loss Still Matters
Detroit’s Lost Concours Story: A Tradition Silenced!!!
The cancellation of the Detroit Concours d’Elegance is more than the disappearance of an event from the calendar—it is the loss of a tradition that connected Detroit to its proud automotive soul. In a city that gave the world the automobile, to be left without even a single concours is nothing short of tragic.
It is not simply the end of a show; it is the quieting of a heritage that once stood tall as the heartbeat of the Motor City.
Detroit has always been more than just another city. It was here that Henry Ford perfected the assembly line, turning the Model T into a machine for the masses and changing the course of modern life.

From Detroit rolled out the great marques that defined entire eras: Cadillac’s elegance, Dodge’s toughness, Chrysler’s ingenuity, and GM’s vast portfolio of innovation.
The automobile built Detroit, and Detroit built the automobile. For that reason alone, it seems unthinkable that the city no longer has a concours to honor its legacy.

The History of Detroit’s Concours
To understand the weight of this cancellation, one must return to the origins of Detroit’s concours tradition. It began in 1979 with the Meadow Brook Concours d’Elegance, held on the sprawling grounds of the historic Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester, Michigan.
Built between 1926 and 1929 by Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of auto pioneer John Dodge (yes, Dodge cars), Meadow Brook Hall was a fitting backdrop for a grand Concours d’Elegance and a celebration of the automobile.
Its Tudor-revival architecture, manicured lawns, and connection to the Dodge family made it a venue steeped in automotive history.
Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester, Michigan, was built between 1926 and 1929 by Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of automobile pioneer John Dodge, and her second husband, Alfred Wilson. Constructed for $4 million, it is a 110-room, 88,000-square-foot example of Tudor Revival architecture, and is now a National Historic Landmark.
The Meadow Brook Concours quickly grew into one of the nation’s most prestigious shows, often considered on par with Pebble Beach. Rare classics, brass-era automobiles, and one-off concept cars lined the estate, while the event itself expanded into a weekend-long lifestyle experience.
For collectors and enthusiasts, it became a pilgrimage—a place where history, elegance, and community merged.
In 2011, the event moved from Meadow Brook to The Inn at St. John’s in Plymouth, Michigan, adopting the new name Concours d’Elegance of America. Though the setting changed, the purpose remained: to showcase the finest automobiles ever created and to celebrate Detroit’s unmatched role in shaping automotive history.
For a decade, the Concours d’Elegance of America carried on this tradition, drawing crowds and world-class cars to Michigan each summer.

Hagerty’s Ownership
When Traverse City-based specialty auto insurance company Hagerty assumed ownership in 2021, many hoped the company would carry forward Detroit’s Concours tradition as it was moved downtown to the Detroit Institute of Arts.
As an insurance and lifestyle brand, Hagerty has done much to promote automotive enthusiasm, but the Detroit Concours was different.
Housed in the Detroit Institute of Arts, Diego Rivera’s monumental Detroit Industry Murals are recognized worldwide as symbols of Detroit’s legacy as the Motor City and a global center of industrial and automotive innovation
The Detroit Concours was never meant to be just another weekend car show. Its relocation to the Detroit Institute of Arts gave it profound cultural weight, staged in the shadow of Diego Rivera’s world-famous 1933 Detroit Industry Murals. Few venues could better symbolize the Motor City’s unmatched legacy in car culture and automotive history.
Instead, the event lost its identity. In an effort to appeal to a younger audience, new categories were introduced—RADwood for 1980s and 1990s cars, Concours d’Lemons for oddball vehicles, along with youth-focused activities such as Ride & Drive and Youth Judging
These programs had merit in the broader car culture, but in Detroit they felt out of place. The Detroit Concours shifted away from honoring automotive ledgions such as of Cadillac, Chrysler, Dodge, and Ford, and toward chasing trends that diluted the show’s purpose.
Hagerty may be an expert at insuring cars and building lifestyle products, but shepherding an event of such historical weight required more than marketing tactics. It required an understanding of Detroit itself—its heritage, its triumphs, its struggles, and its standing as the auto capital of the world.
By canceling the Detroit Concours only a few years after its downtown debut, Hagerty revealed it never truly understood what this event meant, not only to collectors but to the city that gave birth to the automobile industry.
The decision was more than unfortunate—it diminished Detroit’s standing as the epicenter of automotive culture, leaving the Motor City, of all places, without a concours to honor its history. In the end, the cancellation reflected not a lack of passion among enthusiasts, but a lack of vision at the top.
EyesOn Design, hosted each Father’s Day at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, celebrates Detroit’s legacy of automotive design
Yet, perhaps the saving grace for metro Detroit is the EyesOn Design Car Show, held each Father’s Day at the historic Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores. Unlike the concours, this long-standing event continues to celebrate automotive design excellence, providing the region with at least one showcase that honors Detroit’s creative spirit and connection to the automobile.

The Downtown Debut
In 2021, Hagerty rebranded the Concours d’Elegance of America as the Detroit Concours d’Elegance and moved it into the heart of the city. The Detroit Institute of Arts provided a dramatic backdrop, and for a brief moment it seemed as if the concours might become a crown jewel for Detroit—a cultural festival worthy of the Motor City’s proud heritage.

But just a few short years later, the Detroit Concours was gone. Its quiet cancellation leaves a void that feels larger than the event itself. It marks the end of a lineage that stretched from the grandeur of Meadow Brook Hall, to the decade at St. John’s, to the brief attempt at reinvention downtown.
Each iteration reflected a city trying to preserve and celebrate its automotive legacy. Now, that continuity is broken, and with it, a vital piece of Detroit’s story risks being forgotten.

A Stark Contrast
The irony is unavoidable. Hagerty continues to oversee other world-class concours events—Pebble Beach Concoursd’Elegance, Amelia Island Concours , and Greenwich Concours among them—all of which thrive under their stewardship, drawing collectors and enthusiasts from across the globe.
Yet Detroit, the very birthplace of the automobile, has been left behind. Nowhere else carries the same historical weight, yet it is Detroit that no longer has a concours to call its own.
This stark contrast underscores the inadequacy of Hagerty’s vision for Detroit. What flourishes elsewhere has been allowed to wither here, in the one city where such a celebration should be considered sacred.
For Detroit—the Motor City, the global symbol of automotive innovation—the loss of its concours is more than an organizational failure. It is a cultural and automotive heritage wound.
The Detroit Concours was more than an event; it was a mirror reflecting Detroit’s automotive dominance, heritage, pedigree, and culture.
From the historic Dodge Estate at Meadow Brook Hall to the urban streets near the Detroit Institute of Arts, it stood as a living reminder of what the automobile means.
Not only to the city of Detroit, but also to America and to the world. Its cancellation is a silence we should not accept lightly.

Detroit deserves better. This is the city where Henry Ford built his first automobile, the Quadricycle, in 1896 in a small shed on Bagley Avenue. From that humble beginning, Detroit became the automotive capital of the world, home to Cadillac, Chrysler, Dodge, and General Motors.
A city with such a legacy deserves to celebrate it—not with faint memories, but with a concours that honors its past, inspires its present, and secures its place in the future of automotive culture. Until that happens, the loss of Detroit’s concours will remain a wound in the history of car collecting and a reminder of just how fragile even the proudest traditions can be..

The "Telluride Autumn Classic" Car & Air Show Opens In Telluride Colorado (September 25-27, 2025)
2025-09-25 10:00 - 2025-09-27 16:00 | Telluride Golf Club, 565 Mountain Village Blvd, Telluride, CO, 81435, United States
(Updated Sept. 14, 2025) – The Telluride Autumn Classic Returns September 25-27, 2025, amid the vibrant hues of the San Juan Mountains for its 10th anniversary. Car enthusiasts and collectors will converge for a celebration of vintage automobiles, exotic supercars, motorcycles, and historic aircraft.
The festival takes place in Telluride and Mountain Village, Colorado, and promises rare restored vehicles, classic and antique vehicles (both pre- and post-war), supercars, and good old American-made muscle cars.

Once again, the Splendid scenery plays a starring role. Million-dollar machines will be displayed under crisp autumn skies, with the rugged peaks as backdrop—on venues including the newly-opened Hangar 30 at Telluride Regional Airport, the Heritage Plaza in Mountain Village, and the Telluride Ski & Golf Course driving range at over 9,000 feet elevation.
Also See: Corvettes on Colorado Car Show Takes Over Telluride, Colorado (Sept. 29 – Oct 1, 2025)
The festival will span three days and multiple venues, featuring marquee events such as the Welcome Reception at Hangar 30, the Silverton Poker Run Road Rally, the “Cool Cars on Colorado” street display, and the mountaintop Concours on the Golf Course.

Set in the San Juan Mountains, the Telluride Autumn Classic offers much more than a conventional motoring festival. Over four days, this event celebrates the world of automobiles and motorcycles, while also weaving in family-friendly activities, live music, art, contests, shopping, and more.

Venues & Events

Hangar 30 at Telluride Regional AirportThe festival kicks off here at sunset on Thursday. The “Welcome to Telluride” reception unfolds in this capacious hangar under soaring ceilings, where aviation enthusiasts will appreciate the echoes of wings and propellers — where historic aircraft meet the roar of super-charged engines.

Heritage Plaza, Mountain VillageArt, sculpture, light and shade, and people moving at a slower pace — this plaza becomes a marketplace of creativity. Forty-four artists from across North America will show their work here, giving contrast to the automotive spectacle: brushwork beside bodywork, sculptures among steel. (Read more on the Heritage Plaza)

Telluride Ski & Golf Course Driving Range, Mountain VillageFor many, this is the centerpiece: the Concours, staged on a three-tiered driving range high above town at about 9,000 feet. Imagine rows of restored classics and supercars lined up, with the San Juan Mountain ridges draped in autumn splendor behind them. Jaguars, Fords, exotics, and pre-/post-war gems all vying for attention and awards. (Read more about the Telluride Ski Resort)

Daily Flow & Atmosphere
Each day brings its own rhythm:

Thursday feels like anticipation: arriving, checking in, greeting friends in the hangar, previewing art, hearing distant engine notes.

Friday has motion: the Road Rally’s early engine hum, winding mountain passes, returning to Telluride’s Main Street as a parade of color and design.

Saturday builds to peak: the Concours at high altitude in daylight, the panel, the contests, then evening festivities that let everything simmer and shine.

Sunday is reflective: last views of art, one more walk past classic cars, small conversations, awarding the concours, people’s choice, and making mental plans for next year.

(Updated Aug. 14, 2025) – On the third Saturday of September for the past 25 years, the quiet little town of Murphys in the Sierra Foothills awakes to the sound of the engines of vintage cars headed to the Ironstone Concours d’Elegance at the Ironstone winery.
Ironstone Concours d’Elegance Saturday, September 27, 2025
From 176 cars in 1996, the Concours has grown to host over 350 automobiles, vintage travel trailers, trucks, motorcycles, and more.
Highlights: The Ironstone Concours d’Elegance takes place on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 9am to 4pm. Tickets for the Concours cost $25 at the gate. The Ironstone Concours week kicks off with a “Cars and Stars Auction and Dinner” on Friday, Sept. 27. (Detail Below)
This unique show, which encourages people to bring their daily drivers as well as Pebble-Beach-quality entries, is organized as a benefit for 4-H and FFA.
Members of these two organizations are present to welcome the car entrants and guests, show off their projects, and add to the positive ambiance of the event.
Many of these young people head off to college and become members of the Northern California agricultural community.
The Ironstone Concours D’elegance will Feature Over 350 Classic Automobiles, Vintage Travel Trailers, Trucks, Motorcycles, And More.
In the early 1990s, during the construction of the remarkable Ironstone Amphitheater at Ironstone Vineyards, owners John and Gail Kautz attended the famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. There they met Chris Bock, now Pebble’s chief judge.
They returned to Murphys with thoughts of changing their annual youth-in-agriculture fundraising gala into a significant Concours d’Elegance.
As their plans developed, they stopped construction of the amphitheater and redesigned the stage to accept the weight of automobiles, particularly heavy classics.

The Ironstone Concours Foundation has pledged generous support to the building fund for the California State FFA headquarters in Galt, California.

“The Cadillac Fall Festival provides two days of fun and Cadillacs and LaSalles for you to enjoy. Your safety is our concern.”
The Cadillac luxury brand was founded in 1902 and named after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the founder of Detroit. The iconic Cadillac visual identity is instantly recognizable and is still based on the original brand’s logo from 1906. The famous logo was redesigned about 30 times since 1902.
The first Cadillac logo was designed in 1902 and featured a crest with swans and parallel lines, with a crown on top and an ornate circle framing. The crest was inspired by the Detroit founder’s cat of arms. The wordmark “La Mothe Cadillac” was placed on the bottom part of the logo. The trademark was registered in 1906.
A symbol of excellence redesigned, it is inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian, a European artist known as a very prominent geometric painter of the 1900s.
The crest of Cadillac was a design inspired by the French adventurer Antoine de la Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac’s coat of arms. He is noted in 1701 for the founding of the city of Detroit and is said to be an ancestor of Henry Leland, founder of Cadillac. The coat of arms was first used on Cadillac cars back in 1905 and was a registered trademark in the following year.

ABOUT THE GILMORE AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM
