Next Sunday, August 15, the 70th Concours d’Elegance will take place in Pebble Beach, California. In the meantime, it is the highlight of the annual Monterey Car Week. Actually, the round anniversary should have taken place last year. However, the Corona pandemic led to a cancellation for the very first time. In 1950, the beauty contest for automobiles had taken place as a parade on the home stretch of a road race course in Pebble Beach. Even then, Will Edgar participated with his father John. They brought along their 1938 Bugatti Type 57 Coup\u00e9 de Ville. This makes Bugatti one of only a few brands that has probably been represented with at least one car at all 70 editions of the event. Will Edgar will be at the anniversary concours in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From new car show to classic car event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the early years, it was primarily custom bodies based on then-new cars that won the coveted awards at Pebble Beach. At the end of the 1950s, however, the organizers changed the focus to classic cars. Bugatti took the overall victory at the Concours for the first time in 1956. This time the event was held for the first time on the manicured lawn of the 18th hole of the Pebble Beach golf course and has been held there continuously since. The winning car was the Type 37 Grand Prix of Dr. Milton R. Roth. Over the following years, Bugatti vehicles won eight more “Best of Show” awards, more than any other brand can boast. Among them were two titles for the rare Type 57 SC Atlantic. First the car from the collection of fashion designer Ralph Lauren won in 1990, then the sister car of Peter D. Williamson in 2003. In 2019, all four Type 59 Grand Prix cars were shown together for the first time since 1934.<\/p>\n\n\n
