437: Pebble Beach Docent Tour | Automotive History Comes Alive

437: Pebble Beach Docent Tour | Automotive History Comes Alive17 sept.30 min

This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I'm taking you along on something pretty special—a docent tour of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and a chance to hear the stories behind some of the most extraordinary automobiles on the field.

We start with the spectacular Dubonnet Xenia, a car that looks futuristic today despite being created nearly 90 years ago, before moving to one of America's most famous classics—the incredible Duesenberg "Twenty Grand."

From there, things only get better.

We explore the wild 1938 Phantom Corsair, take a closer look at the fascinating engineering of Tatra, and spend some time with one of the most beautiful and valuable automobiles ever created—the Bugatti Atlantic.

Then there are the Alfa Romeo B.A.T. cars, a trio of aerodynamic experiments that still look like concept cars from the future more than seven decades after they were created.

And Pebble Beach isn't only about prewar classics.

We finish with a Le Mans-winning Toyota race car, demonstrating just how broad the definition of automotive greatness has become on the Pebble Beach lawn.

It's automotive history, design, engineering, racing and some of the greatest cars ever created—all in one episode.

A huge thank you to Broad Arrow Auctions, presenting sponsor of The Collector Car Podcast, for their continued support of the show and the collector car hobby.
