A Glimpse Back In Time
Outlook|November 05, 2018

The Pebble Beach Concours showcases some of the finest motorcars ever produced, and 2018 was no exception. This year, however, had a separate class for Motor Cars of the Raj, bringing together some of finest cars from India onto the global stage.

The hallowed lawns of the Pebble Beach Golf Course, the venue of the Concours, are quite a spectacle every year for enthusiasts of vintage cars. Clearly the most coveted award in the world of vintage and classic automobiles, winning the Pebble Beach Best of Show award remains a dream for most serious car collectors. Filled with people eager to get a look at cars that they’ll rarely ever get to see anywhere else, the award’s extensive standard of judging and the quality of vehicles participating make it a fine competition indeed.

Of course, every year there are special entries – and 2018 was no different, with there being a special class for Motor Cars of the Raj. But we’ll come to that in a little bit. As expected, the Best of Show award usually goes to a car that is quite exalted and in a supreme condition of restoration. This year was no different, with the award going to the 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta, owned by David and Ginny Sydorick of Beverly Hills, California.
