Incredible cars, side boob, a guy passing around his parrot, drinking... and driving. Congratulations, this video really has it all!

[@RobertLewisHUB]

😂🤣 The parrot guy cracked me up. I have a vertical video of him twisting the bird’s neck and rubbing its head on his beard

[@richarddavenport31]

A GOOD CHOICE FOR A WINNER!!!!! I ALWAYS LOVED THE 540K!!!!!!

[@RobertLewisHUB]

They are stunning and elegant cars 🤩

[@philippeplouchart8156]

Good video. No smoking cars (except one), no cigar or cigarette or pipe smokers.

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Thank you! 😀 The air was clean and pure at the Concours 💯

[@richardthomas1566]

Greatest car ever made

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Elegance, beauty, sophistication, and speed all wrapped up into one Best of Show winning design 🚙💯

[@kenvendley8904]

I enjoy your work!

[@RobertLewisHUB]

I appreciate that, Ken! More great videos to follow 😎🚙

Bliss.

[@RobertLewisHUB]

They always put on a classy Concours 🎩🚙

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

with all the chaos at the ramp, nicely done. The white T26 was epic!

[@RobertLewisHUB]

And I managed to get to the head of the class! Maybe next year I’ll be front row 📸. Talbot Lagos are gorgeous! 🇫🇷 🚙

[@barbaralewis432]

Great coverage of car week! Exquisite cars and beautiful Monterey California weather. Something for everyone.

[@RobertLewisHUB]

They were stunning as always! 1 poor Alfa Romeo suffered injury on its voyage here, but earned an award anyway 🥇

[@sallyb3]

Thank you🎉brilliant coverage!

Cheers! 🥂🚙

Magnificent 😊

[@RobertLewisHUB]

The cars were exquisite 🚙 💯

[@miloramos7646]

I work in a hotel in the area and i was wondering why our rates were so high and sold out. Now I know why. Excellent cars and great footage 👍

[@RobertLewisHUB]

It’s probably the most expensive week of the year. I’m sure the population doubles as well lol

[@Toindopecar]

This event is crazy Impossible to say which car is more beautiful. Here in Brazil we don't have anything like it Wonderful video

[@RobertLewisHUB]

It’s truly a special event, where cars are flown in from around world just for this week and the chance to win the prestigious Best of Show award!

[@loetzcollector466]

Maybe not, but I know for a fact that Brazil has an amazing car culture and some amazing old Marquis were sold there new

[@RobertLewisHUB]

@@loetzcollector466 I love to see other countries that are American car enthusiasts as well. Brazil has some cool cars like the Bianco S. A local california collector has one. The VW SP2 was also built in Brazil and the Puma GT(E) looks like a Brazilian 240Z 🇧🇷 🚙

[@spaceshantynow1851]

Pretty fun! Thanks for sharing your footage. I was down for car week but didn’t got to the Concours. Maybe next year 😬

[@RobertLewisHUB]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s always a great event with amazing cars and interesting people watching 😅

[@motorsmt]

Nice footage. Will definitely watch it again.

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Awesome! Thanks for the compliment 😎🚙

[@user-jy8mo5fi5q]

About 35 years ago a Mercedes 500K roadster was discovered in Walsall, West Midlands belonging to a local butcher. He had inherited it from an Aunt and it had languished in a garage for decades. It was in need of restoration but complete in every detail. He parted with it to a car dealer who gave him £150K At auction the car fetched half a million, so it makes me wonder how much the winner this year is worth. Well and truly a multi million dollar car no doubt.

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Amazing find! Barn and garage funds are becoming rarer and rarer as the values have increased considerably. Most of these 500/540k Roadsters sell privately (especially the more expensive ones), so it’s difficult to put an exact number on it. The buyers have blank check money and one thing is for sure, winning the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance only raises the already robust value. Kentucky Derby winning race horse pedigree 😎

[@steelman86]

The poor dear at the end with the outrageous hat thought they said she was going to Ascot!!!!

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Some people think it’s a fashion show that was crashed by a few cars

[@graysonlove27]

1930 RR Phantom (27:20) with a built-in expresso machine probably worth more than my house. I'm talking about the Expresso machine only. The car is more like 10x my house. Love the content - great quality video!

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Yes, the OG Phantom, when only the wealthiest of the wealthy (or royalty) were able to purchase them. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Here’s a smaller concours from earlier this year in La Jolla in case you haven’t seen it. There were 17 Duesenbergs in attendance, which is incredible for any concours! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYfKgISFqNFgibc

[@perkin524]

Amazing collection of exotica. Loved it but what a shame there were no close-ups of 1920s Bentleys - I think I saw one in the distance - for me they are the supreme automobiles of that age.

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Gentlemen drivers of their day. Performance and luxury 🇬🇧. It’s a fine line with longer videos on YT - I try to condense as much into a limited time because of viewer’s short attention spans lol. Check out my video of the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance where 17 Duesenbergs were in attendance! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYfKgISFqNFgibc

[@woodyholland9865]

Wow, thanks for video. YT suggested this to me as I have been watching a lot of stuff of car week. This is by far the best so far. You showed all types and styles of cars. Most are young kids showing hyper cars that only the rich can afford. Well only the rich can afford a lot of this video also. lol

Great video. Please, for the sake of informative part of it, so many cars am seeing for the first time here. Can you help with the name of these cars?

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Thank you! I tried to show the info cards, although quickly. You can pause and read if you’d like.

[@wiliamgraham2452]

thank you for the excellent video, I might suggest next time spend just a second longer on the information plaques on the cars.....

[@RobertLewisHUB]

My pleasure! Yes, I’ll show the info for a few seconds next time! Hard to keep everyone’s interest for too long, but it seems like more people want to learn about each car. Appreciate the feedback! 🦾

[@lewgoogle5530]

It would be a refreshing change if they would give a Best of Show to that Ghia Cadillac, or something like it, rather than to yet another pre-war car, especially a 1938 Mercedes. I was there at Pebble on Sunday. Don't see myself in this video.

[@RobertLewisHUB]

Pre-war seems to get chosen over post war most years. And black cars. Hope you had a great time! I’ll try to film you next time 😂

[@olasek7972]

By my standards 50% of cars I saw in this video deserved an award, I don’t know how judging works and why some cars or chosen over other

[@RobertLewisHUB]

@@olasek7972 being a Concours judge is the most difficult job in the world. The judges do have favorites, but exceptional cars stand out for their provenance and quality.

I tried to film the info card, albeit briefly, so you could stop or go back and read it. Videos that are too long don’t do as well on YT

As Jay Leno once said: "There's a crisis in this hobby! We need to find a way to get more old white men interested with classic cars!" I wouldn't pick such a low-hanging fruit as to say the guy with the trophy is the original owner, but he definitely found it with the keys and outraced the invading Russians.😅

Jay said it best 😂. But we like what we like and this can be an expensive, but rewarding hobby. 🤑🚙
