Exotics_Builder Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 What did it win? It appears it won its class, not overall. The 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance winner was a 1936 Lancia Asturia Pinin Farina cabriolet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nells250 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Looked at the Pebble Beach site for more info. So far, all I found was: Class R: Bizzarrini...... 1st: 1969 American Motors AMX/3 Auto Costruzioni S.D. Coupe, Padma & Jürgen M.

Dragline Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 What a simply gorgeous car that is. AMC was at the top of its game at that place in time. It becomes hard to reckon such a fall from grace when they had cars of this caliber in the design studios and then reality.They took such chances and pulled off quite a few great ideas, then plunk down weirdos like the Pacer and Gremlin. Those cars have a place in my heart but they are not Pebble Beach winners. So it begs the question. How can such great ideas such as this come out of a house that would fall within [or thereabouts] a decade?My Grandmothers 1969 Javelin was a stunning car. I went to see Jaws in it in 1975. I recall other rides in it and people would look at the car and smile. It really was that nice.I know the history is out there but I just cannot fathom how it goes wrong once you see this and other cars from them.Blows my mind.

Nells250 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I own a 1974 Javelin factory 401... I only wish it was in the condition of that AMX/3!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
