2014 Concours d' Lemons - As is the case with many joyful things in life, the "Concours d' Lemons" started out as somewhat of a joke, a way to turn their noses up at the display of wealth that had infiltrated the Monterey Peninsula. So, a group of car enthusiast, long on passion for the love of the automobile, yet, financially challenged, displayed their Pintos, Vegas, Pacers and LTD's, some even dressing the part just as you will witness down the coast at The Lodge in Pebble Beach. This event has taken on a life of its own, including sponsorship from no other than Hagerty Insurance! Located just past the Embassy Suites in Seaside nest to the Chili's, this free event is a must-see during Monterey Car Week and mark this one my personal favorites for putting a smile on your face.
