Check out the lovelies as the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance hit the home stretch in downtown Carmel, kicking off our pre-Pebble weekend activities. We caught it from the streetside vantage point where we strolled amongst car collectors and the general public, in what was the most crowd-friendly of the Pebble Beach hub bub. Of course, parking on these streets prove a more exclusive activity, but the cars made it worth it the congestion. Name that hood ornament — we saw Packard, Bugatti, Bentley, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Delage, Duisenberg and Porsche among the flock of rare gems. It’s one thing to gaze upon a classic, but to see a pre-1950 authentic rolling down the street is another entirely. The phrase “Keeping up with the Jones’s” was illuminated by this kind of fanfare, no doubt. More rare gems after the jump.
