Celebrating the most prestigious, and the junkers, of the automobile world
On the central coast of California, car enthusiasts can marvel at the most prestigious and the junkers of the automobile world, all in one weekend.
TL;DR
- The central coast of California hosts two distinct car events in one weekend: Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and Concours d'Lemons.
- Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance showcases prestigious and valuable collector cars, chaired by Sandra Button.
- Concours d'Lemons, founded by Alan Galbraith, celebrates less desirable, less loved, and less expensive cars with categories like 'Rust Belt American Junk'.
- Concours d'Lemons offers categories and awards like 'Worst of Show', highlighting humorous and often terrible car entries.
- Galbraith, who also works as a docent at Pebble Beach, believes his event offers a more personal connection for enthusiasts with their cars.
- The dual events showcase a broad spectrum of American automotive enthusiasm, from the rare to the rotten.
