Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance
HOT CARS|Vol3, Issue No.4, FALL 2016

What other show in the world would get me up at 4am in the morning to drive to a cold, foggy, golf course to watch cars drive out onto the green in the early morning dusk?

Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance of course! Each year Eric, Lynne, and myself find ourselves getting up earlier and earlier. Heck, next year I think I’ll just park the Monte Carlo in the parking lot and sleep in the car! Hagerty car insurance gives out “Dawn Patrol” hats and coffee for us die-hard early risers, and I’m proud to wear mine!
