Applications are now available for Carmel-by-the-Sea, the most recent addition to the prestigious group of events that make up the internationally known Monterey Peninsula ten-day collector car gathering.

Carmel-by-the-Sea's whimsical architecture, inspired by Arthur Rackham's illustrations for children's fairy tales, provides a unique setting for the Carmel-by-the-Seas Concours on the Avenue. Carmel's world-famous Ocean Avenue will be closed to traffic and eighteen blocks of downtown will be filled with collector cars and related motorized fun. A fascinating mix of American and foreign cars will be showcased in front of a backdrop of charming shops, critically acclaimed restaurants and numerous galleries.

The Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue will focus on vehicles not usually seen during this ten-day periond and will include over 175 Muscle Cars, Hot Rods, Luxury Cars and Sporting Cars.
