Monterey Car Week is a whirlwind of events, auctions, and car person fun. This year was my 10th Monterey, and after all these years, the one thing I’ve learned is that it doesn’t really matter where you go and what you do — if you’re a car person, just being in the area and wandering around town is an adventure in car spotting. No pricey tickets or exclusive memberships required. Of course, if you want to see everything, you’ll have to pay to play — but ACC was everywhere, and we had our cameras in hand.
We’re gearing up for the next issue of ACC this week, which will include results from the auctions as well as a lot of shots from the week. In the meantime, here are a few of the sights from this year’s events.
