WTT Motorcycles Among Top Honors At Pebble Beach Concours |
|
 This past Sunday, August 15, 2010, Wheels Through Time Museum curator and founder, Dale Walksler, headed to Pebble Beach, CA to compete in the famed Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and came away with two out of three top honors in his class.
Now in its 60th year, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance annually attracts over 175 of the rarest and most significant automobiles and motorcycles throughout the world. Held on what is often proclaimed as "the best finishing hole in golf" -- the 18th Green at Pebble Beach, the Concours brings together collectors, celebrities, and enthusiasts for the most competitive event in the automotive world. During the one-day, invite-only show, cars and motorcycles are judged not for their speed, but for their excellence. "The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance has long been the most prestigious show for many of the rarest and most unique machines in the world," said Walksler of the event. "To be invited to Pebble Beach is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity, and an honor for myself and the entire museum staff." |
