Concours de Lemon Celebrates Unusual Vehicles
The Concours de Lemon is set to take place tomorrow at Seaside City Hall, starting at 8 a.m. This unconventional event is dedicated to showcasing the most peculiar, mundane, and truly terrible automobiles.
Participants will compete for a variety of humorous awards, including “Needlessly Complex Italian,” “Sight for Sour Eyes,” “Driving on a Prayer,” and “This Car Should Have Been a Lawsuit,” the latter sponsored by a law firm. The premier category, “Worst in Show,” also draws significant attention.
Local car enthusiast Jeff Niles, who is making his fifth entry, noted, “This is just so much fun. As a local, I can win an award during car week, and it’s not often that I can do that at many of the other shows with just a regular everyday car.” This perspective reflects the unique opportunity provided by the Concours de Lemon, allowing owners of less glamorous vehicles to partake in the celebratory atmosphere of Car Week.
In addition to the awards, guest judges will offer their insights and selections throughout the event. Organizers have also ensured that tow trucks will be on standby, given the nature of some of the participating cars.
The event not only highlights the artistic side of automotive design but also embraces humor and community involvement, making it a memorable occasion for participants and spectators alike. With its mix of fun and eccentricity, the Concours de Lemon promises to be a delightful addition to the Car Week festivities.
