Par for the course

Over $100 million worth of classics, collectibles, and exotics—including the very first production Porsche—are going on display this weekend at the Concours d'Elegance at the Pebble Beach Golf Links. Dr. Ferdinand Porsche's first sports car (pictured here with the doctor, right, and his son Ferry) was built in 1948 and dubbed Porsche No. 1; it's traveling from the automaker's museum in Stuttgart as part of the company's 60th anniversary celebrations. The Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California—one of which sold for $11 million at auction in May—is also getting its due, with six examples, including the prototype, on exhibit. Other marques, like Lamborghini, Pininfarina, and Bugatti, will also be represented: Sounds to us like a good use for the fairway.
Sunday, Aug. 17, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; for more information, visit pebblebeachconcours.net
