Summary
Pebble Beach’s 75th anniversary show marked Sandra Kasky Button’s final event as chairman after 21 years leading the Concours d’Elegance.
Vince W. Finaldi, a third-generation automotive restorer and collector, is taking over the role as Button shifts to brand ambassador and strategic adviser.
Button’s tenure coincided with Pebble Beach’s rise as what many consider the world’s premier collector-car showcase, centered on the annual concours near Carmel, California.
The event now anchors a full week of classic-car activities, including auctions, vintage racing and a 70-mile tour along the Monterey area’s forests and coastline.
