If Julian Fellowes's popular show The Gilded Age had taken place during the automotive era, the season finale might have found the city's elite not at a ball in Newport but at the concours at Pebble Beach. That's right, everyone, it's Monterey Car Week time. Put on your fanciest hat as the Car and Driver staff joins the car world's high rollers at the seaside.
This year's Car Week promises reveals of limited-edition supercars and first looks at one-off concepts. We'll also find rare survivors, modified classics, all-star race cars, and, of course, an excess of exclusive (and perhaps also excessive) parties. We'll do our best to marry into high society and prevent our sordid former lives from becoming public knowledge. We've got our classy staffers Michael Aaron, K.C. Colwell, Drew Dorian, Joe Lorio, Dave VanderWerp, and myself (Elana Scherr) on the scene, and we'll be sharing photos, drives, and videos here in real time as well as on our social accounts.
Check back throughout the week for updates, and let us know in the comments if there is something you'd like us to cover. —Elana Scherr

The road to Monterey starts with a flight to California. Leaving from Newark, so... fingers crossed. When I land I'll be driving a Maybach SL up from LA. —Joe Lorio
