Autogeek visits Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance!

[Nick McKees37]

Last week Bob McKee and his wife Darlene took a trip to California to attend the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

This was Bob's first time attending the show and he said it was a car guy's dream come true. He saw every kind of rare vehicle imaginable, and it turned out to be a record setting year for the show bringing in over $440 million dollars.

Pacific Coast Highway

It's a tradition every year to take the Pacific Coast Highway from Monterey to Big Sur, and to stop at Laguna Seca Raceway along the way. Then it's off to Carmel.








Mountains along the way...






Carmel

While everyone stopped for lunch in Carmel, Bob and his wife Darlene managed to grab a couple photos of some of the cars.














Quail

Quail was the big event on Friday. This is the show that featured a fundraiser. Jackie Stewart was also there!

Concours d'LeMons, Concorso Italiano and RM Auctions

Saturday was another exciting day with the Concours d'LeMons, Concorso Italiano, and RM Auctions.

Wayne Carini from Chasing Classic Cars bought and sold a few cars at the event...























Bob and Darlene with Wayne Carini...



Mike Stoops from Meguiars was there working hard...












Jay Leno was there...












Maybe Bob will take the entire Autogeek crew next year?

Thanks for the awesome photos Bob (and Darlene!)

Nice write-up Nick!

Just to note... we had a Studebaker just like this only with glossy black paint for one of our Thursday night projects here at Autogeek.





It's been probably 3 years since we detailed the Studebaker Starlight Coupe here at Autogeek and I see this car all the time and the owner Mike has done a great job of keeping the finish up.

I had the good fortune to have lunch with Darlene and Bob in our Hospitality Suite at Pebble Beach. Always a good time, especially in that setting!!

Holy cow, Jackie Stewart!! Who here is old enough to remember him on the Aurora commercials saying "it's a BIT like motorcar racing"...I can't find a YouTube of that anywhere.

Great pics from Max/Bob.

If you look over Bob's shoulder that's none other than George Barris, probably the most famous car customizer of all time....






The most iconic car of all time that he built is the Batmobile.

Pretty cool!

Here's some more cool cars that were on display....


This is a Cosworth Twin Cam Vega....





VW Microbus...




An old Woody survivor!






1963 Rambler American Convertible!







AMC Gremlin!



I'm not sure what this is but I think from the lack of a front grill for air intake and the air grills on the back fender is some version of a Corvair with an air cooled engine?
