Monterey and the Pebble Beach Concours had much to offer enthusiasts this year, and there was a large assortment of early cars. In fact, Pebble Beach split the class into "Open" and "Closed" cars - you rarely see closed cars from this era. The following are some of the cars from the "Closed" class. Pat Craig's 1915 Piece-Arrow (with a two decade old restoration) won the class.
