“Best Monterey Ever”… Lynch Wraps Up Holy Week

September 1, 2010 By Lynch

This image shows the setting of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance as well as any I've seen. Simon Moore brings his Alfa 8C2900A over the ramp in front of the crowd as part of the 100 Years of Alfa festivities. The show itself is in the background with Stillwater Cove lapping at its edges. The white sand beach in the far distance is Carmel and the Santa Lucia Range runs East along the valley of the Carmel River. Credit: Kimball Studios/Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
