Like every year in California, the legendary Monterey Car week showcased all the old, new and wild machines on the floor. It all kick started on a Friday with over 30 classic cars blocking the Alvarado street in Downtown Monterey and the fans could cheer and ogle at the same time on over 300 race cars over the weekend. Known as a Pre- Reunion the Petrolheads go gaga over the teams and enjoy the weekends at paddock goggling at the historic beauties.

At this year's Car Week, we had our man Yashas Khot  in attendance who got us some absolutely breathtaking shots!

The show continues on a Monday when as ‘Automobilia Monterey’ happens, where the largest 40+ international dealers have crack the code to spin a petrolhead's head with classics, vintages, signs and even hood ornaments. And then comes ‘The Porsche Monterey Classic’; how can one not go crazy just by reading and picturing the frame where an exclusive event took place highlighting the Porsche classics which even included one of three ever build Porsche’s Type 64 at the auction.

The ‘Concours on the Avenue’ is an elite by-invite only event which has a selection of the most finely curated automobiles from the yore. Carmel-by-the-Sea's world-famous Ocean Avenue is where a fascinating mix of American and foreign automobiles are showcased that are not easily seen otherwise. What a breath-taking sight it must have been for an enthusiast!

Next in line was for a Vintage drama with a glass of wine; ‘The Carmel Mission Classic’; This day showcased more of Fords and Mercedes that drove the 50’s streets. What a day to live to screen at least a quarter of century old historic autos?! 

Looking for a Fine wine with a taste of luxury motorworks? We think the most eventful must-see is at ‘McCall's Motorworks Revival’; this offers a luxury experience bath of award winning wines and state of the art offerings.

Just in time if you were late or not a Vintage fanatic; ‘The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering’; this counts more for a modern time Petrolhead. This day, the floor showcased a number of debut entries from Lotus Cars, Bugatti, Aston Martin, Bentley Motors, Acura, Pagani Automobili and Drako Motors along with anniversary celebrations for Singer Vehicle Design, Pagani Automobili and Bentley Motors. Besides this the Porsche Enthusiasts had a second chance to gaze at the classics. On the other hand, there was a glorious choice for people to witness competing race cars which concluded categories from 1966 - 1972 Trans-Am to 1955 - 1962 GT Car divisions.

What more can come along this car week?! ‘Exotics on Broadway’ is a  close look at supercars in one location. With the legendary supercars, hypercars and exotics of recent times in attendance, this yeas EoB saw a lot of car world celebs too making an appearance.

Our Thoughts!

The event clearly made a car-fanatic go nuts by all chances, and had them smiling silly for the rest of the month. We hope the photoset does justice to the ones who missed out on being there in person. We can only wish you see such an event in India in coming years to ogle at more pre-war, wartime classics and modern day machines in one picturesque location. One day, we hope!
