2025 Concours d'Elegance Best of Show Winner

Congratulations to the 2025 Concours d’Elegance Best of Show winner, a 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C Nieuport-Astra Torpedo, shown by Penny & Lee Anderson Sr. of Naples, Florida.

This year, 229 cars (55 international entries from 22 countries and 174 US entries from 31 states) pulled onto the competition field.

Known as the “Tulipwood” Torpedo, the car is in fact constructed of strips of mahogany, each individually carved to shape and joined to the inner ribs by 8,500 rivets. It reportedly weighed just 160 pounds when first built.

Hispano-Suiza has captured the top prize at Pebble Beach twice before, most recently in 1989.

This year’s race for Best of Show featured several strong contenders, including the 1939 Maybach SW38 Spohn Sport Zweisitzer presented by Dana and Patti Mecum of Geneva Lake, Wisconsin; the 1933 Invicta 4½ Litre S Type Corsica Drophead Coupé shown by SBH of Riffa, Bahrain; and the 1956 Maserati 200SI Fantuzzi Open Sports Racer presented by Phillip Sarofim of Beverly Hills, California.

Additionally, the Pebble Beach Concours has already raised more than $4 million for charity this year, bringing the event’s total charitable donations to over $45 million to date. Through the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the primary charitable partner of the Concours, these funds will benefit nearly 100 local nonprofits focused on youth education, impacting the lives of more than 10,000 children annually in Monterey County.
