2023 Best of Show Winners Include:

Best of Show Pre-War:

A 1935 Duesenberg SJ, presented by Harry Yeaggy from Cincinnati, Ohio. The vehicle is one of two land-speed record cars named the “Mormon Meteor,” after automotive record-holder and devout Mormon Ab Jenkins set a 24-hour speed record in its model year. The immaculately maintained vehicle was restored in 2007, earning Best in Show that same year at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

Best of Show Post-War: 

A 1969 Lamborghini Miura S, presented by Jeffrey Meier of Woodland Hills, California. Known as being the first modern supercar, it is the machine that put Lamborghini on the map because of its 12-cylinder engine in the middle of the car. Painted in its original Arancio Miura orange paint, it was the fastest car of its day and has taken several awards at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
