Pebble Beach, 19th of August 2012
The Monterey Classic Car Week found its final with the Concours
d´Elegance at the Pebble Beach Golf Course. Traditionally held
on the third Sunday in August this was already the 62th edition of
the most prestigious Concours in the world. 225 cars in not less
than 28 classes were presented at the 18th hole of the famous
Golf Course at the Monterey Peninsula. Beside the regular
classes ranging from the Edwardian era to the post-war years
both in American and European cars this year's concours
featured the special classes of the Maharaja cars, the featured
models of Mercer, Fiat, the 50th anniversary of the AC Cobra plus
the coachwork of Saoutchik.
Before the Concours the first appearance of the entrants was the
Tour d´Elegance on Thursday morning. After the restoration
became more and more important for the results at the concours
not few had the impression that some of the entered cars would
not make more than the way from the trailer to the lawn and the
ramp and so several years ago the Tour was introduced. All the
entrants have the possibility to show their car in perfect running
condition and a participation gives an advantage in case of a level
score at the concours.
So many of the cars line up early in the morning in front of the
Gooding&Company auction tent at the trailer park to the start of
the Tour. This is also the first chance to glimpse a look at the
entered car and spot some of the favorites for the awards. For
some cars these are the first miles on their own wheels as many
cars just finished restoration days before but this is far more than
a duty as the Tour leads down highway 1 at the coast giving the
best view and photo opportunity at the coastline. Surprisingly few
people are seen on the way to the turning point at Big Sur, just
the famous Bixby Bridge is well visited by photographers waiting
for the three groups of cars coming by. Later the cars park for the
lunch stop in the town centre of Carmel-by-the-Sea surrounded by
the crowd before returning to the grounds of Pebble Beach. This
year's Tour d´Elegance was sunny, unusual for the morning at the
sea as the previous years were foggy and overcast by tradition.
The Concours started early on Sunday morning at 6 am when the
first cars entered the lawn and as in previous years there were
already many people waiting for them to be set up by the
countless volunteers on the show field. The weather was typical
for August at the coast with some fog early in the morning and
mild temperatures and beside a short sunny period around noon
the sky remained overcast for the rest of the day. This did not
take away the many spectators as one had the impression that
the field even filled up earlier this year as it was already crowded
well before the official opening of the field for the public. The
owners were busy preparing the cars for the judges including
international designer of the large manufacturers, marque experts
and former race drivers who had again the agony of choice to pick
out the class winners of the high quality entries. Even regular
visitors for the last decades were impressed that this event
attracts so many superb cars after all this years that were never
seen before and even when one thinks he has seen all there is
something new to discover.
The special theme of the Maharaja cars was one of the highlights
of this year's concours and divided in two classes, Rolls-Royce
and others. Being a British Crown Colony at the time and with
Rolls-Royces reputation for building some of the best cars in the
world (especially with the Silver Ghost) it was not a surprise that
these cars were the first choice of the Maharajas. Several different
variations of bodywork could be seen at Pebble ranging from
formal tourers to sportive torpedos. Sir Michael Kadoorie brought
a Phantom I Torpedo equipped with two guns on the passenger
side, not unusual at the time when hunting was one of the
preferred amusements of the Indian Royalty. But not just wealthy
collectors brought their treasures to Pebble but also real
Maharajas were present with their cars. The oldest RR was
brought by the Maharaja family of Udaipur, a 1924 Rolls-Royce
20HP by Barker but the owner himself might have been the most
photographed person during the weekend. The most famous of
the Maharaja Rolls-Royce was without doubt the “Star of India”, a
1934 Phantom II commissioned by the Maharaja of Rajkot as All
Weather Tourer by Trupp&Maberly. The orange RR with the
polished hood features the family emblem on the doors and even
in the windows. The car was part of a prominent Rolls Royce
collection in Germany until it was re-acquired by the Maharaja
family at the RM Auctions sale in Monaco in 2010. Unfortunately
the car burned down about ten years ago but it was restored just
in time for the golden jubilee parade of the Queen in 2002.
But not just Rolls-Royce found their way to the Indian sovereigns
as they were keen in the elegant French design and the German
mechanic as well. The second Maharaja class featured a 1930
Mercedes-Benz 710 SS with factory four seater bodywork, a
Delage D8 Figoni Cabriolet, a very elegant Bentley Speed Six
H.J.Mulliner Saloon with illuminated Lalique-Ornament and a duo
of Hispano-Suiza. The automobiles with the stork on the radiator
were some of the most expensive and exclusive cars of their era,
the class featured a six-cylinder H6B Kellner Cabriolet and a later
twelve-cylinder J12 de Villars Cabriolet that was also originally
owned by the Rajkot dynasty.
But at the end the class was won by the spectacular Duesenberg
Model J Gurney Nutting Speedster. The orange-black speedster
with a disappearing dickey seat and streaming lines was a real
show stopper and was also nominee for the Best of Show trophy.
Although just for display the two swan cars from the Louwman
Collection were without doubt people´s favorites on the lawn.
Designed back in 1910 as a swan with many special features and
lavish details the Brooke 25/30HP was bought by the Maharaja of
Nabha who built a smaller version, the Cygnet of 1919 that was
also presented on the ramp at the beginning of the award
ceremony. The larger version featured a steam spray out of the
beak but more to the amusement of the audience it could also
poop leaving the ramp a little bit slippery and one of the
price-giving hostess on her back after a slip.
The second featured class was dedicated to the work of French
Carrossier Saoutchik. The display spanned 3 decades showing
the diversity of design ranging from a duo of Mercedes-Benz 680S
from the late 1920s to the 1954 Pegaso Z-102 B. At the end of
the roaring twenties the supercharged six-cylinder chassis
designed by Ferdinand Porsche was the best one could buy, the
S, SS and the shorter SSK models were successful in the hands
of racers like Rudi Caracciola. Beside the in-house designed
Sindelfingen bodies many chassis were bodied by carrossiers like
Erdmann&Rossi and others but the most elegant design might be
the Saoutchik Torpedo. With a long hood, small passenger
compartment, a low sideline, the absence of a running board and
full disappearing top the French variation looks much sportier than
the works tourer bodies. Saoutchik built several examples both on
the 680S and the 710SS and two of them were presented at
Pebble, one with a higher and one with the low windshield. The
gray version with the low windshield was once shown on the New
York Auto show before it was acquired by Frederick Bedford Jr. of
the Rockefeller Standard Oil Company whose family kept the car
until 2006 when it was sold on auction at Christie´s Monterey
sale. It was back on sale at the Bonhams Retromobile Sale in
2008 and on display (together with another Saoutchik 680S) at
Lukas Hüni at the Techno Classica in 2009. It was then acquired
by Paul & Judy Andrews who commissioned Paul Russell with
the restoration to its former glory. After a previous restoration in
the 1980s the car lost its original interior that was recreated and
the car was brought back to the original color of Pigeon-Gray that
was found under the cream yellow paint that covered the car for
most of its life.
The attention to every detail and the painstaking research
convinced the jury not just to the class win but also to get the
crown of Best of Show. Almost 20 years after its last BoS
restoration with the Trossi SSK Paul Russell scored another
victory with a pre-war Mercedes-Benz showing his particular
knowledge in these models.
Later in the 1930s the design changed very much and especially
the rear fenders became part of the bodywork to make the cars
look more aerodynamic and elegant. The Delage D8-120 S was a
very good example of the taste of this time with a very elegant line
without scrollwork. The silver hood and top of the doors underlined
the floating lines that was assisted by the absence of door hinges
as the doors slide open to the side. When the car appeared at the
start of the Pebble Beach tour on Thursday morning not few had
the opinion that this might be a contender for the Best of Show
but at the end it had to give way to the Mercedes in its class.
Later it was voted “Most Elegant Convertible”.
A rather wild design was the 1938 Hispano-Suiza Dubonnet
“Xenia” Coupé from the Mullin Collection, inspired by the aviation
this car features a long aerodynamic body with a narrow cockpit.
This car featured André Dubonnet´s independent suspension and
stayed a one-off show car.
After the war Saoutchik continued with flamboyant lines as one
could see on the Cadillac 62 with its “smiling face” or a duo of
Delahaye. One of the last creations of Saoutchik was a variation
of the Pegaso Z102 but at this point other styling like the one of
Touring on the same model were more interesting. Just a year
later Saoutchik closed their doors just as many other
coachbuilders of their era as well.
Another special feature this year was the class of AC and AC
Cobra. In its golden jubilee the AC Cobra was present on all
events during the classic car week but unlike the GTO last year
the Cobra was more present on the race track than on the lawn.
Although the Cobra had an own class including the first (and still
unrestored) example still owned by Carroll Shelby when he
passed away earlier this year, the Cobra was not that much in the
focus at Pebble. It shows that these cars are still more present
as a race car in vintage racing as not less than 44 took the
chequered flag at the Monterey Motorsport Reunion the day
before whereas the Ferrari GTO is more popular on the lawn today
than in racing (due to its value).
Beside the special classes several marque-classes featured
Duesenberg, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari.
Ferrari had again two classes with the competition and road going
models but was also very well represented in this year's preserved
class. The tiny 500 Mondial was one of crowds favorite showing
all the signs of age with proud rather than the perfection of some
over-restored cars. The competition class included a open
variation of the Mondial, two 250 TdF and the big 410 Sport
amongst others. The Grand Touring class featured two lovely 212
Inter Cabriolet with early Pinin Farina design , a 250 GT LWB
California Spider but the most impressive car was the 375 Plus
PF Cabriolet. Once built for the Belgium King Leopold this car
combines the chassis of a pure race car with the elegant cabriolet
coachwork of Pinin Farina and for many Ferraristi this is the best
looking Ferrari ever built. This combined with the history of a royal
first owner and a restoration back to the original color scheme
would be a good contender for a BoS but as Pebble is
traditionally won by a pre-war car the Ferrari was not even
nominated. But the late Sergio Pininfarina was specially honored
with the black 212 Inter Cabriolet brought by Robert M. Lee, the
first Ferrari ever to wear a body of Pinin Farinas design.
The Mercedes-Benz class was very strong this year as well.
Although not featured the class span the range from the
six-cylinder era of the 1920s to the iconic 300 SL in the 1950s.
Oldest car in the class was a 1929 710 SS Barker Roadster but
the 500/540K era was presented by no less than 4 dark
blue/black variations including a Cabriolet A and B, a Special
Cabriolet and a Special Roadster. But highlight was a duo of 1952
W194 celebrating their 60th anniversary this year. After the lost
war and the restrictions Mercedes-Benz did a first approach back
to motorsports with the 300 SL prototypes. With a limited budget
and many parts from the limousine the race department created a
light tubular frame with the famous Gullwing doors. The concours
featured two examples, one with high and one with low doors, one
of them is the actual 1952 Le Mans Winner (Chassis 7). At the
end of the 1952 season a new car was developed for the next
season and although it was never raced it became the prototype
of the successful road version, today this one-off is part of the
Mercedes-Benz museum collection.
Very important classes are always the pre-war European classes
with several interesting cars every year. The sports racing class
included 4 Alfa Romeo, 3 from the 6C 1750 series and an 8C
2300. Very special was the one-off of Italian collector Corrado
Lopresto. Known for his preference of one-offs the Milanese
brought a very unique 6C 1750 Grand Sport Aprile Spider that
looked very modern compared to the standard spiders with their
vertical radiators. But the class was won by the wonderful Figoni
Coupé that already won all major awards at the Villa d´Este
Concours earlier this year. The two-tone black&white streamlined
6C did not just win its class but was also awarded most elegant
sports car and nominee for Best of Show.
Back in the 1930s French coachwork was present at the winners
lists of every concours in the world and not few collectors have a
special interest in the class of French Grand Touring. No less
than three former Pebble Beach winner had a car in this class
with last year's winner Peter Mullin coming home third in class
with a Peugeot 302DS Darl´mat Pourtout Cabriolet. A little bit
more extravagant was the second placed Delage D8 SS100 with
two-tone Figoni Cabriolet Coachwork and a very nice Lalique
ornament brought by Arturo Keller. Best in class went to the
cream Talbot-Lago T150C Figoni&Falaschi Cabriolet from the
Patterson Collection, again restored to perfection by RM
Restorations just as the 2010 winning Delage. The car featured a
mint green interior with matching Tiffany´s boxes and it looked
elegant both with closed and open hood. Surprisingly it was not
nominee for BoS but maybe just one car of the Class J was to be
chosen and this was the Figoni Alfa.
The winners ceremony started at about 1:30 pm and with 28
separate classes it took about 3 hours to give away all the class
and special awards. After a short break with the annual raffle
hosted by Jay Leno it was finally time to announce the Elegance
and BoS awards.
At the end 4 class winners were nominated for the Best of Show,
the Figoni Alfa, the Duesenberg from the Maharaja class, a
Duesenberg Model J Derham Tourster from the Duesenberg class
and the winning Mercedes. This year the pyrotechnics had a jump
start as they blew up the confetti well before the Mercedes
entered the ramp. After the smoke cleared away the Mercedes
appeared in the middle of the ramp to receive it laurels, a well
deserved winner of the biggest classic car show in the world.
The Concours was again a superb final of the classic car week in
Monterey and although the week is an overdose of impressions
everyone is looking forward to the next year with the 63rd
Concours and new special features and cars never seen before.
We have now put together a gallery featuring all cars on the lawn
sorted by class from the Concours and the Tour, more reports on
the other events during the week will follow the next days.
