Concours d'LeMons

Tired of seeing a dozen Lamborghini 350GTs in pristine condition lined up in a row?

Rather see a UAZ 452 than a Lamborghini LM002?

Confused about which Concorso Italiano is the real deal?

Sick of one of the Concorso Italianos spamming you every day with updates like "Ferrari Club of Southwestern Idaho Officially Endorses Us As the 'Real' Concorso Italiano"?

Then you should go to Concours d'Lemons.


This write-up on their home page says it all:

"Brought to you by the same miscreants behind the 24 Hours of LeMons and Billetproof, Concours d'LeMons lowers the tone for the Monterey Weekend. Tired of paying $150 to see 150 identical Ferraris? Concours d'LeMons costs 20 bucks and has 20 Pacers and Pintos. Bored with the same old collector-car canon? Our Warsaw Pact Class should be shot from a cannon.

From mint-condition shag vans to Honey Bees, Bricklins, Skodas, and Edsels, Concours d'LeMons is all about stuff that you haven't seen every damn August! The fact that we actually know our cars suck is just gravy. Lots of free parking means no shuttles out to East Jabib. Optional "Small-Wiener Corral" so your Maybach won't have to sit near a Yugo. Easy back-road directions to bypass Laguna's grand Cluster-F.

Monterey County-Mandated Warning: No wine, cheese, straw boaters, silicone-augmented cougars, or watercolors of pre-war Grand Prix races are sold at this venue.
