Pebble Beach, August 15, 2010
A 1933 Delage D8S De Villars Roadster owned by The
Patterson Collection in Louisville, Kentucky, was named Best
of Show at the 60th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance held
Sunday on the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Course.
Additionally, proceeds from raffles, auctions, sponsorships and
ticket sales helped contribute more than $1 million to charity for
the fifth consecutive year.
"There are so many things about this car that are special," said
owner Jim Patterson, who founded Long John Silver's restaurant
and contributed to the founding of the Rally's Hamburger chain.
"We've won (with other cars) at a lot of concours, but never
here. This win at Pebble is the ultimate. This is the one win that
really matters."
Competitors from 33 states and 14 countries brought their
prized automotive possessions to the California's Monterey
Peninsula for judging in 29 classes. In the end, the white,
streamlined 1933 Delage with coachwork from De Villars was
judged the best.
"This Delage has a short wheelbase that makes it look more
rakish, but it still has a long and elegant look," said Concours
Chairman Sandra Button. "It did 110 miles-per-hour in its day; it
could race and was stunningly beautiful. This car could do it all;
it embodied style, speed and comfort."
Delage added the sports version to the D8 range in 1930. To
make the S more aerodynamic than its predecessors, a new
radiator shell was used, which required a special hood and
firewall that made the D8S even more visually distinctive.
Patterson's D8S graced the 1933 Salon de Paris at the Grand
Palais. It was owned during the 1950s by the Grand Hotel
Velasquez in Madrid, Spain and was used as transportation for
its more discerning guests. Now it's one of 60 Pebble Beach
Concours Best of Show winners.
Alfa Romeo, a featured marque at the 2010 Concours, had the
largest presence on the 2010 Pebble Beach show field,
including seven vehicles shipped from the Alfa Romeo Museum
in Arese, Italy. The 75th anniversary of Jaguar was also
featured, as was Pierce-Arrow. Special classes included a
focus on the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB
Berlinetta, the centennial of the Indianapolis 500, Hot Rod
lakesters and Bonneville racers, American Prewar Road and
Racing Motorcycles built through 1959, and Ghia-designed
vehicles.
More than 250 cars and motorcycles were present,
encompassing more than 100 years of the automobile, with the
oldest car on the field being a 1902 Mercedes Simplex. Tonight
Show host Jay Leno made a guest appearance, and celebrity
attendees included Roger Corman, Jeremy Piven, Erik Estrada
and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
