Video credit: Pebble Beach Concours (https://www.pebblebeachconcours.net/) "This Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer is a combination of speed, style and power," said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. "Somehow these three elements—along with those fantastic torpedo running boards—become the very definition of elegance." The car retains its original Marchal lighting equipment and chrome-plated wheels; these are complemented by low-cut doors and unusual torpedo-style running boards. The rich blue color was inspired by a dress made of peacock feathers in the 1850s. In the final circle, Bruce was up against his brother John McCaw who, with wife Gwen McCaw, competed for Best of Show with their 1957 Ferrari 315 S Scaglietti Spyder. Also there was a 1932 Packard 906 Twin Six Dietrich Convertible Victoria owned by William E. (Chip) Connor of Reno, Nevada. The 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, held on the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links, drew 204 cars from 15 countries and 31 states—and the total included 54 first-time entrants. This year's event also raised more than $1.6 million to help people in need. Through the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the primary charitable partner of the Concours, these charitable funds will benefit over 80 local charities. Celebrity guests in attendance included Jay Leno, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Strahan, Jerry Seinfeld, and Chief Creative Officer of Pixar John Lasseter. Visit Our Website: http://www.Motorward.com
