(August 19, 2011) PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- The back drop of the Pacific; the fascination for the automobile, old and new; people packed in like the sardines that made Monterey famous and you have a picture of what is taking place this week surrounding America’s most famous Concours d’Elegance.
For years automotive manufacturers have used the focus of the Concours to turn it into a mini motor show. This week is no different as Lotus, Infiniti and Lexus among others have taken advantage of the hoopla and the presence of automotive media to showcase some new cars, classics and concepts.
