An exquisite 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta took home the Best of Show prize at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

The deep blue Alfa Romeo won its class before competing for Best of Show and also picked up this year's Charles A. Chayne Trophy—plus, it was named the J. B. & Dorothy Nethercutt Most Elegant Closed Car.

"As a Zagato collector, I broke the rules and bought a Touring-bodied car because this Alfa Romeo is very special," said owner David Sydorick of Beverly Hills, California in a statement. "It is a piece of automotive architecture mounted on a Grand Prix chassis that has technology that was top of the line for prewar cars. It's a wonderful combination. It's beautiful from top to bottom."

The polished prizewinner competed against over 200 cars from 17 countries and 31 states on the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The concours is not a contest of speed, but instead it is one of elegance since its inception in 1950.

"This Alfa Romeo 8C 2.9 has all that one would wish for in a car—speed, style, and, frankly, sex appeal," said Sandra Button, Concours chairman in a release. "The Touring styling is simply magical, and to top it off it makes all the right noises!"

Honorable mentions include a 1929 Duesenberg J Murphy Town Limousine owned by the Lehrman Collection of Palm Beach, Florida and a 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Figoni Fastback Coupé owned by Robert Kudela of Chropyně, Czech Republic.

This year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance also raised $1.8 million for charity that will benefit over 80 local Monterey county charities.

The 69th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance returns to the third Sunday of August next year—so be sure to mark your calendars for August 18, 2019.
