The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is without question one of the premier collector car events in the world. This year, Car Collector writers and editors canvassed the Monterey Peninsula to bring you all the splendor and speed that Pebble Beach has to offer. Our cover car won the Dusenberg class and is a 1935 SJ Walker-LaGrande convertible coupe owned by Sam and Emily Mann. Photo by Dennis Adler.
