Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, 2012 Gallery Concept Cars
Since 1985 the Golfers of Pebble Beach have lost their practice putting green in front of the 'Shops at Pebble Beach' on that third Sunday of August. I remember seeing the golfers out on the green tuning their swing early in the morning as we all filed past heading for the 18th hole which was by then, completely taken over by the most elegant cars from all over the world. But in 1985 we were treated by a most unusual site. When we reached the last step descending from the main roadway we were greeted by something never before seen.
All seven Bugatti Royals were assembled on the shops' putting green.
Since that weekend in '85, the practice green has had tire tracks on Concours day. Lately the practice green has be come a stage for manufactures to display their Concept Cars with many choosing to recognize the significance of the day and make it the moment of choice for the North American debut of their latest creation. As noted by this years collection.
