PEBBLE BEACH – A gorgeous silver and blue 1929 Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer captured the coveted Best of Show award Sunday afternoon at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’ELegance. Owned by Bruce McCaw, the German icon beat out a prestigious field comprised of 200 entries from around the world.
The Mercedes‘ victory capped a beautiful day spent celebrating vintage cars on the famed 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach Links. Gray skies gave way to a sun-drenched afternoon as well-heeled enthusiasts mingled with celebrities like former NFL star Michael Strahan and comedian Jay Leno. The 67th edition of arguably the most distinguished car show in the world also awarded honors in individual classes, and this year the featured sections included Ferrari’s major race winners, Ferrari’s One-Off Speciales and American Dream Cars of the 1960s.
The day began before the sun rose as hundreds of hearty enthusiasts gathered to watch the cars drive onto the fairway – an insider event that’s becoming increasingly popular – and ended with the traditional winner’s drive onto the stand in front of the famous Lodge at Pebble Beach.
