For you, August probably means beaches, vacations, and really, definitely getting outside this weekend. For the deep-pocketed car nuts who flock to Monterey, California, it means writing checks big enough to send your accountant into shock. The annual auctions held by houses like Gooding & Company and RM Sotheby's are a highlight of the auto-related events surrounding the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. And they routinely feature some of the rarest, most impressive, and most expensive cars on the planet.
Even if you can’t make this year’s auctions, and if you don’t have a few million to burn on a new ride, you can still tie on a scarf, toss back some prosecco, and click through the gallery above for a look at some of the prettiest, most expensive, and downright weirdest vehicles on offer this weekend.
