The series of events forming the Monterey Classic Car Week are all arranged individually. There is no official program and perhaps surprisingly, no single source of information for all events.

Some of the major events in the Monterey Classic Car Week include:

 

Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

 

The Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance is generally considered the most prestigious of its kind in the world.

 

Around 200 cars take part in this top event in the Pebble Beach Automotive Week.

 

Enthusiasts can often see the cars for free during the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance when some of the entrants go on an organized 60-mile drive and park the cars in Carmel during the lunch stop.

 

 

Quail Lodge’s Motorsports Gathering

The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering , is one of the most prestigious events during the classic car week and held at the Quail Lodge and Golf Club in Carmel. Tickets (around $450) are limited to 3,000 and are partly sold via a lottery system. Around 200 classic and modern racing and super cars are on display while modern luxury and sport cars are available for test drives.

Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion

More than 500 historic racing cars (pre-1940 to around 1980) take part in races over three days at the Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca.

 

Concorso Italiano

The Concorse Italiano welcomes any car of Italian origin. Around a thousand Italian cars are on show at the Black Horse Golf Course in Monterey.

 

 

 

Concours de Lemon

A fun event, with absolutely free admission, is the Concours d’LeMons for the ugliest cars and “worst in show”.

Classic Car Auctions at Monterey

The auctions during Monterey Classic Car Week commonly see the highest prices of the year.
