A Concours d’Elegance literally, a competition of elegance, is basically a car show. But what a show! From the manicured lawns of Pebble Beach to the splendid palace of Italy Villa d ste, the concours displays rare and beautiful cars, restored to perfection and gleaming like the multimillion-dollar jewels they are. In such venues, cars are judged by various criteria, including historical accuracy as well as the elegance of their presentation and a 100-point car is a rare gem indeed.
