Pebble Beach, Calif. – The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is already accepting entry applications for the 59th annual show to be held on Sunday, August 16, 2009. Entry forms were mailed out last week, and all completed forms are due back to the Concours by January 7, 2009 — two full months earlier than in previous years.
The organizers moved up the application deadline in order to provide everybody with the time they need to get ready for this world-class competition.
“The earlier time frame allows our Selection Committee to put together the very best field,” says Concours Chairman Sandra Kasky Button. “By verifying and then confirming our field of entries as soon as possible, it will also be easier for our entrants – especially those outside the United States – to fully prepare and ship their vehicles.”
The number of applicants and participants from outside the United States continues to increase which shows that the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance has become ‘the world’s concours,” said Kasky.
Entry forms were mailed to past participants and interested enthusiasts who had previously requested them. Other car collectors interested in receiving an application are invited to send an email describing their car to

Most entrants will be notified in early spring if their cars were accepted or declined, with the balance of entries notified soon thereafter.
Bugatti and Bentley will be the featured marques for the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The Concours will also celebrate the centennials of Morgan and Audi and will highlight the designs of Zagato.
