The Winner of the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Best of Show Is . . .

From Car and Driver

At the center of the high-class automotive world sits the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, hosted annually at the golf course of the same name in Monterey, California. There is no higher honor than landing Best of Show, and for 2018, the winning car was this 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta.

This glorious fixed-roof coupe was originally revealed at the 1937 Milan auto show and later shown at the 1938 Berlin auto show. With an extremely tapered rear, this 8C represents a more aerodynamic take on the relatively ubiquitous 8C chassis, and it lacks running boards and has a laid-down grille. As it was awarded, the Alfa Romeo is specified to its 1938 Berlin auto show particulars, having been restored in the 1990s. Last year's winner was a 1929 Mercedes-Benz Barker Tourer, another glory-day automobile dripping with glamour.
