Concorso Italiano 2010
A personal report by Michael Rockich.
Legions of Ferraris, vistas of Lamborghinis, literally wave after wave of sports cars and other exotics including Maseratis, De Tomaso Panteras and Mangustas, Alfa Romeos, Fiats, Lancias, and non Italian marques as well covered the soft green fairways at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch. One must see to believe. The occasion was the 25th iteration of the Concorso Italiano on August 13, one of the largest and most significant gatherings of Italian automobiles in the world.

Another aspect of the Concorso is the opportunity to speak owners of the exotic cars. A number of owners often sit next to their cars during the event. Much can be learned by speaking with owners, as they love their cars, and often enjoy expounding on them.

The 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance®
marks the 60th year of this grand event. With Jaguar marking its 75th anniversary the two icons of automotive excellence are again together and forever intertwined. Jaguar has always been an important car taking many high profile positions during the Concours's 60 years. It is now the 2010's featured marque.

With Jaguar in many ways taking us back to the events earliest days, Chairman Emeritus Jules "J." Heumann noted, "The earliest Pebble Beach Concours had a special feeling; it was all new, and everyone participated with great gusto and style, People brought carpets and silver candelabras for picnicking and it wasn't uncommon to see folks wearing cutaway coats and morning trousers." Mr. Heumann has attended every Pebble Beach Concours to date. Press release More....-pdf
