The Cars are the Stars of Motoring History and Innovation

KEMBLE, Ontario - Aug. 15, 2023 - PRLog -- The Cars are the Stars at the 9^th annual Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance presented by Porsche, as they take to the stage and to the green, at Cobble Beach Golf Resort Community.

With 18 classes for judging purposes, 48 judges will take to the 18^th fairway to begin scoring the 4 or 8 hand selected vehicles in each class to choose the best in that class. Vehicles are chosen by a committee of automotive experts, who study each vehicle closely, right down to the correct bolts used for that car's time period. First, second and third place is awarded within each class, and class winners are eligible for one of either the Best of Show, the Most Outstanding Pre or Post War awards.

This year, Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance will be hosting some very important automotive anniversaries. Porsche is celebrating 75 Years, as well as 60 Years of the Porsche 911.
