The Best of the Worst is Coming to Pebble Beach

Tuesday July 7, 2009
Anyone who has been to the Annual Classic Car celebration in beautiful Monterey, California in August will tell you that this is the place to be if you want to see extremely rare and historic automobiles. Cars considered to be the “Best of the Best” gather every year to be bought, sold and judged by enthusiasts from around the world.

This year it seems the “Best of the Worst” wants to stake their claim and be recognized for their contribution to the car world just like those gracing the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The event is called the Concours d’LeMons and they will be celebrating the oddball, mundane and truly awful of the automotive world.

Concours d’LeMons is organized by the same miscreants behind the 24 Hours of LeMons and Billetproof. Entrants will have a multitude of classes to choose from like Rust Belt American Junk, Needlessly Complex Italian and Soul Sucking Japanese Appliance. There is even one class titled Most Effluent in which the car with the highest emissions wins!

So if you feel the need to see an AMC Pacer, Ford Pinto or Chevy Vega again, head down to Toro Park in Monterey, Calif. on August 15th. All the details can be found on the Concours d’LeMons website.
