Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2018 - Photos, Results and Winners

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance 2018 was held Sunday, August 26th in Pebble Beach, California. More than 200 automotive treasures lined the 17th and 18th holes of the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links for the 68th annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the pinnacle of Monterey Classic Car Week.

The 2018 Pebble Beach Concours featured 209 cars from 17 countries and 31 states on the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Among the marques and models featured at this year’s event were Motor Cars of the Raj; Rollston Coachwork; Tucker; Postwar Custom Citroën; Vintage-Era Sporting Cars and Eisenhower Era Dream Convertibles. The marque of OSCA also occupied a place of honor this year, with a headline display of OSCA models situated against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. As examples of the feisty cars were seemingly everywhere this weekend, therefore our photo gallery reflects the significant lineup at Pebble.

Created in 1950 to demonstrate the virtues of the latest cars, the Pebble Beach Concours is the jewel in the crown of historic vehicle restoration and conservation. The vehicles are judged based on technical value, style and elegance, with the aim of encouraging the preservation of our mechanical heritage. This yearly meeting of people passionate about automotive design, style and innovation pays homage to the great eras of motoring history.

The judging process at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is two-fold: Class Judges focus primarily on originality and authenticity, while Honorary Judges direct their attention to design, styling and elegance. To be eligible to win Best of Show — the event’s top award — a car must first win its class.

Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance 2018 was awarded to the 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta owned by David and Ginny Sydorick of Beverly Hills, California. Other nominees for Best of Show included a 1929 Duesenberg J Murphy Town Limousine owned by the Lehrman Collection of Palm Beach, Florida and a 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Figoni Fastback Coupe owned by Robert Kudela of Chropyne, Czech Republic.

The 69th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will take place on Sunday, August 18, 2019, and will celebrate the centennials of Bentley and Zagato.

Similar to 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, Sports Car Digest also documented the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours, with photographer Richard Michael Owen producing the following stunning images from this year’s event.
