Pebble Beach Motoring Classic: A Retrospective

© Perry Stern, Automotive Content Experience The Road to Pebble Beach
Each summer for the last 18 years, a group of adventurous car collectors gathered in August on the outskirts of Seattle to begin the Pebble Beach Motoring Classic — an amazing road trip to California prior to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance collector car show and competition. An anually changing group of gregarious car folks would pilot their rolling works of art about 1,500 miles through the mountains and along the Pacific Coast, arriving in Pebble Beach just in time for the Concours, in which many cars of the Motoring Classic were entered.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pebble Beach Concours will not be held this year, and neither will the Pebble Beach Motoring Classic. Typically the first official event of the annual Pebble Beach Concours, the Motoring Classic is the brainchild of Al McEwan, a collector who has not only organized this event from its inception, but leads the charge each year. The idea behind the Motoring Classic is to enjoy these incredible cars in their natural environment — cruising the open road. Even though no collector cars are taking to the road this year, what follows are fond memories of some gorgeous automobiles that have taken part in this exclusive road trip over the last few years — a trip McEwan calls, “a little bit of driving between the parties.”
