Congratulations to Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Best of Show Winner
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (August 20, 2023) — A prewar Mercedes-Benz roadster that was first owned by the Shah of Afghanistan—one of just three similar cars surviving in the world today—was awarded the top prize at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
This year, 216 cars from 18 countries and 30 states pulled onto the competition field of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and the car named Best of Show was a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster presented by Jim Patterson of the Patterson Collection in Louisville, Kentucky.
“This 540K balances strength with sweeping lines and style, and its history is unique,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “In talking with Jim about this car, I was impressed by the time and thought invested in this restoration. Every piece of this beautiful Mercedes-Benz was researched so carefully to honor its history.”

The recap of the Monterey Car Week convened at Mission Ranch Inn Restaurant, a favorite of auction goers and car show entrants for over 40 plus years. You should have heard the gossip amongst the veteran car worshippers at the table. No recorders were allowed.

If it wasn’t for the Corvette’s chief engineer, Zora Arkus Duntov, these Grand Sports would still only be a dream on the drawing board.
