The Pebble Beach Tour d\u2019Elegance Presented by Rolex is a Veritable Tour de Force <\/h3>\n\n\n\t

Thursday morning, at 8 a.m. Three days to the Concours. There is palpable electricity in the air on Portola Road in Pebble Beach. Officials bustle about, clipboard in one hand, and steaming coffee cup in the other, as 165 cars take up their positions in three neat rows to participate in the 2018 Pebble Beach Tour d\u2019Elegance.

Understandably nerves are running high. By entering the tour, the Pebble Beach Concours entrants commit to over four hours and 70 miles of driving uphill and down dale, across the Monterey Peninsula and beyond, which can be as exhausting as it is exhilarating. Add to that the fact that some of these cars are centenarians, many are rarely driven and all will be exhibited on the 18th fairway at the Concours the following Sunday, and the Tour d\u2019Elegance becomes a real Tour de Force. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the Tour is incredibly important \u2014 quite possibly the most important event of the whole darn Concours!\u201d remarks Anne Brockinton Lee, owner of the Robert M. Lee Automobile Collection in Sparks, Nevada, as she leans against her spectacular 1931 Cadillac 452A Boattail Roadster with stunning Pinin Farina coachwork. This car \u2014 better known as the \u201cTiger Car\u201d because it was commissioned by the Maharaja of Orchha specifically for hunting \u2014 was entered in 2018\u2019s Motor Cars of the Raj class and was named First in Class at the Concours the following Sunday. \u201cThe Tour kicks off the week,\u201d Anne says, smiling. \u201cIt gets everyone involved in the Concours, as well as the local community, really revved up in the true spirit of why we are all here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 9 a.m. engines are humming \u2014 or occasionally sputtering \u2014 and the smell of hot oil and the sound of well-tuned engines fill the air as drivers and \u201cnavigators\u201d (who really only have to follow the car in front) scramble into their automobiles ready for the \u201coff.\u201d Well-wishers, spectators, and officials wave as the cavalcade of classics stream by \u2014 an assembly that includes 16 OSCAs and 10 Tuckers (the largest number of these rare automobiles ever gathered together at any event) and several prewar cars (that is pre-WWI!). Scores of rare cars have been shipped in from 17 countries including nine from India specifically to participate in the Motor Cars of the Raj Class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lodge at Pebble Beach is one of the many iconic landmarks along the Tour d’Elegance.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

About three-quarters of the way down the field is the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours poster car \u2014 a magnificent 1935 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Streamline Coup\u00e9 with coachwork by J. Gurney Nutting, painted in green and cream especially for the Maharaja of Jodhpur. Superbly restored by current owners Amir and Wendy Jetha of Mumbai, this is the only remaining Phantom II Continental left in India. A few cars down the row, a 1921 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost James & Co. Open Tourer quietly awaits the start. This unique Rolls-Royce was originally commissioned by the Maharana Amar Singhji of Wankaner, especially for ceremonies and weddings. Dubbed the \u201cWankaner Rolls-Royce,\u201d the car has been with the same family for all of its 97 years. This superbly preserved automobile, with its dignified fading paint and beautifully patinated leather, has only 3,000 miles on its odometer and is possibly the lowest mileage Silver Ghost left in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the Tour achieves a number of objectives, including getting the cars driving on the road and completely overcoming the outdated \u2018trailer queen\u2019 criticism,\u201d says Craig Davis, former Concours judge and the man who initiated the first Pebble Beach Tour d\u2019Elegance 21 years ago following a trip to Italy where he witnessed the excitement and frenzy surrounding the Mille Miglia. The Pebble Beach Road Races ceased in the 1950s, after which there was little opportunity for people to see classic cars driven on the roads around Pebble Beach. \u201cThese automobiles are not pieces of art to hang on a wall,\u201d says Craig, \u201cThey were built to be driven! In Europe owners take their cars out, they drive them. They get \u2018pranged\u2019 \u2014 they repair them. They get dirty \u2014 they clean them. Then they take them out again.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jetha<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Many believe that classic automobile owners have a responsibility to share their wards with the public. For those who are unable to attend the Pebble Beach Concours on Sunday, as well as the many local residents who gamely put up with the inevitable traffic delays which accompany the event, the Thursday Tour is a chance to see these fabulous motorcars doing what they do best. And in response, the cheering spectators turn out in their thousands. \u201cHalf the fun for the Tour drivers is the crowd!\u201d says Craig. \u201cThey cheer and yell and we honk our horns and rev our engines! It\u2019s a moving motorcar museum!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first Tour d\u2019Elegance in 1997, Craig drove a 1960 OSCA 1600 Zagato and was assigned to lead the field, proudly wearing the number \u201c1\u201d Tour decal. \u201cOf course, as they waved the flag to go \u2014 my car wouldn\u2019t start!\u201d he recalls. Frantically trying to get the engine to fire, he waved the other drivers around him, finally managing to hotwire the OSCA and join the group at the rear. \u201cWe drove the whole way hotwired so couldn\u2019t turn it off. It was a wild ride!\u201d he chuckles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2018 Tour, car number \u201c1\u201d \u2014 a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster \u2014 was driven by Martin Button with co-pilot and Concours Chairman Sandra Button. Although the 300 SL started up without hesitation, the Buttons hung back to watch the cars go by and joined the field midway. \u201cIt\u2019s the Magical Mystery Tour,\u201d enthused Martin. \u201cMagical because \u2014 well, look \u2014 the sound, the sight, the smell! And a mystery because you\u2019re never quite sure if you\u2019ll finish!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, sadly there is always some attrition en route. In 2018, 10 cars experienced difficulties and needed roadside assistance from the support crew but almost all were able to finish the tour. One of the trickiest parts of the route is the long hill climb before the Tehama Monterra coffee stop. Most drivers left extended space between their cars and took a good run at it but a few struggled with the gradient. \u201cIt\u2019s gut-wrenching to see your friends stopped on the side of the road,\u201d says Elad Shraga from Tel Aviv, who was driving his 1949 torpedo-bodied OSCA MT4 Siluro that had been flown in from Israel along with his 1952 OSCA MT4 MM Spider. \u201cEveryone dreads driving excruciatingly slowly up steep hills and overheating.\u201d

Elad should know. He and his compatriot Amir Almagor organize the challenging Holyland 1000 Tour in Israel and understand the intricate logistics of managing such an event.

This year Chairman Sandra Button and Tour Director Sean Jacobs met with the local California Highway Patrol and emphasized that these automobiles needed to drive at the speed limit to avoid back-up and overheating. \u201cThe police kept things moving and waved us straight through all the red lights,\u201d says Elad. \u201cThey really got it right and the pace was perfect. Fast enough not to overheat and slow enough to appreciate the scenery!\u201d

And the scenery is indeed something to behold. After passing in front of The Lodge at Pebble Beach, the entourage enters the cool cover of Del Monte Forest, and then heads out toward Big Sur, where Highway 1 is a ribbon of asphalt sandwiched between earth and ocean. \u201cAs I came around that turn, into the sun and the sea breeze blasted us, I elbowed my wife. We grinned like kids. Sheer bliss!\u201d says Elad.

Alan Tribe agrees: \u201cIt was a beautiful drive \u2014 stunning!\u201d Alan brought his 1939 Lagonda V12 Rapide from Perth, Australia, for his second outing on the Tour \u2014 his first foray being in a 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Super Sport four years ago. \u201cOne of the most impressive moments is as you pass by the returning cars, an oncoming stream of open tourers, sports cars, vintage cars, Rolls-Royces, and OSCAs! The majesty of a parade through the centuries, each one with masses of history and provenance, and miles of exploration under its hood. It\u2019s almost a sacred moment to ponder.\u201d

The Lagonda, complete with its synchromesh gearbox and the quiet, powerful motor was fresh from restoration in New Zealand. \u201cIt\u2019s a car that was built for fast and silent touring. None of the crash and bang of the Bentleys,\u201d says Alan.

\u201cThere\u2019s no better feeling than nonchalantly accelerating through a red light with the police waving you on while the crowds whoop and holler!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tour cruising into Carmel-by-the-Sea on Ocean Avenue<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At every corner, at every red light and everywhere in between, people gather \u2014 many with outstretched phones or preposterously long camera lenses \u2014 to catch the glory of the moment. Rather fortuitously for one Tour car\u2013owner, a father and son were watching from the edge of Highway 1 and caught the car on video as it lost its \u201csnubber\u201d or shock absorber. The dutiful duo retrieved the jettisoned part and drove straight to Ocean Avenue in Carmel where the cars had convened for lunch. They approached Terry Bare, the Security Committee Chair who was working at the Tour reception desk and explained the situation. \u201cThey showed me the snubber, we watched the video and thought we identified the car,\u201d says Terry, \u201cbut when we got to the yellow and black 1921 Paige Model 6-66 Daytona Speedster, Tom Martindale \u2014 the owner \u2014 looked under his automobile and stated, \u2018It\u2019s not mine!\u2019\u201d Tom then watched the video and determined that the motorcar in question was actually the yellow and black 1921 Kissel Model 6-45 \u201cGold Bug\u201d Speedster. The whole group hustled down the street to the Kissel where owners Andrew and Tanya Heller of Ft. Lauderdale were getting into their car. \u201cA quick look underneath and sure enough the snubber was returned to its rightful owner,\u201d beamed Terry. \u201cCase closed and happy smiles all around!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gathering on Ocean Avenue is unequivocally one of the most popular stages of the Tour, both for participants and onlookers. The motorcade reverently parades into Carmel surrounded by throngs of spectators as the cars fill both sides of Ocean Avenue for five blocks or more while the drivers and their passengers proceed to Devendorf Park, where they are treated to a spectacular and well-earned lunch. Meanwhile, thousands of auto-enthusiasts, locals and international visitors alike are free to meander among some of the most interesting and prestigious automobiles in the world, squeezing between the bumper of a 1922 Hispano-Suiza and a 1939 Lagonda V12 Rapide, or posing for a selfie with a 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial as a backdrop, flanked by a Duesenberg and an Isotta Fraschini. With the sun glinting off highly polished brightwork, and amidst the sweet aroma of cooling brakes and overworked clutches, there is quite simply no better time or place for the auto-obsessed than Ocean Avenue on the day of the Tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to popular opinion, participating in the Tour doesn\u2019t earn a point from the judges at the Concours d\u2019Elegance \u2013 although completing it may be used as a tie-breaker. The real bonus after racking up 70 extra miles, risking overheating (and in some cases divorce), is to have the ultimate story to tell. It\u2019s an event that is quite possibly the most stressful and simultaneously stimulating experience of a lifetime, driving a dream while thousands of people cheer and applaud your automobile.

As Anne Brockinton Lee puts it, \u201cIs there anything I would rather be doing? I think not!\u201d
