Inside the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

This year, the Monterey car week saw more of a mix between old and new than ever, with golf course lawns dotted with a gleaming candy-color assortment of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porsches, and Bugattis of both the vintage and modern variety.

The pinnacle of the week, Sunday’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, came the morning after a controversial, botched Sotheby’s auction in which a 1939 Type 64 silver coupe failed to sell at all. The no-sale auction proved to be by far the most dramatic event of the week.
