Car Week in Carmel-by-the-Sea: The Most Meaningful Souvenir You'll Take Home? A BONDED Bracelet.
Every August, Monterey Car Week transforms California's Monterey Peninsula into one of the world's most celebrated automotive destinations. From the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to exclusive collector events, luxury brand experiences, and scenic drives along Highway 1, thousands of enthusiasts make their way to Carmel-by-the-Sea for an unforgettable week.
But when the engines quiet down and the cars head home, what remains?
The photos.
The friendships.
The memories.
