Introduce

The 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance promises to be a spectacular celebration of automotive history and design, showcasing an expanded range of vehicles that span more than a century of innovation and elegance.

**Packard 125th Anniversary**
Packard, a name synonymous with American luxury and engineering excellence, will be prominently featured as the Concours honors the marque’s 125-year legacy. The celebration will include a special class dedicated to early Packards, from pioneering single-cylinder horseless carriages to the opulent Dominant Six of 1915. Additionally, a class will spotlight the 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Series, renowned for its custom-built chassis and performance-oriented design, available in unique body styles including the iconic boattail.

**Maserati**
Maserati’s storied history will take center stage, highlighting the evolution of this illustrious Italian brand. From their early racing cars of the 1920s to the post-World War II sports and GT models, Maserati’s contribution to the automotive world is both legendary and enduring. The display will trace Maserati’s journey from its origins under the Maserati brothers, through its subsequent ownerships by Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, to its current status under Stellantis.

**Frua Coachwork**
Pietro Frua’s remarkable influence on Italian automotive design will be celebrated with a showcase of his distinctive coachwork. Known for his fluid and innovative designs, Frua’s work ranged from the graceful lines of the early 1950s to the more angular, modernist shapes of the 1960s. His collaborations, especially with Maserati, produced some of the most admired designs of the era, and his legacy will be prominently honored at the event.

**Wedge-Shaped Concept Cars and Prototypes**
The Concours will feature an intriguing class of Wedge-shaped concept cars, which became iconic during the 1960s through the 1980s. This category will include groundbreaking designs such as the Ghia Gilda Streamline X, Alfa Romeo Carabo, Ferrari Modulo 512, and Lancia Stratos HF Zero. These radical designs influenced a generation of production cars and continue to captivate enthusiasts with their avant-garde aesthetics.

**1990s BPR & FIA GT Race Cars**
Rounding out the event will be a salute to the BPR Series and FIA GT racing cars of the 1990s. This era saw supercars like the McLaren F1, Ferrari F40, and Porsche 911 GT1 take to the track, pushing the boundaries of performance and design. The Concours will honor these remarkable machines, reflecting on their impact on motorsport and their place in automotive history.

The 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will offer an unparalleled opportunity to experience a rich tapestry of automotive heritage, from the dawn of motorcars to the cutting-edge designs of the late 20th century.
