The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance marked its sixtieth anniversary this past August. Befitting the occasion, the earth’s orbit around the sun was temporarily suspended for the day so that the earth could revolve around Pebble Beach.  In revenge, the sun did not shine and cool temperatures prevailed. But, for those who braved the elements, it was worth it!

The stellar automobiles did not disappoint.
