Pictures by Albert Wong It’s the crème de la crème of automotive shows. In August, the 66th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was celebrated in Monterey, California. This year’s Pebble Beach Concours brought together 228 cars from 16 countries to the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links. It also raised over $1.75 million for the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, which the foundation says will benefit over 80 local charities. LA Car’s Albert Wong was there to capture its essence in 175 frames.

The 67th Pebble Beach Concours takes place on Sunday, August 20, 2017, and features will include Isotta Fraschini, Lincoln Centennial, and American Dream Cars of the 1960s.
