2022 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with Chief Class Judge Winston Goodfellow

Award winning writer, photographer and automotive archeologist Winston Goodfellow has been a Chief Class Judge at Pebble Beach since 1989. In the last of our 2022 Monterey Car Week trilogy, Goodfellow not only points out many of the world's most rare and valuable cars but goes much deeper with behind-the-scenes insights you won't find anywhere else on the world's greatest concours, and its history. Join our Pebble Beach insider for an illuminating early morning "flying lap" around the field, and a rendezvous later in the day in Winner's Circle as he reviews the class winners for his "Best of Show" vote. How does Goodfellow make what seems to be an impossible decision? And did he make the right choice this year? We will find out!
