2013 Concours d'LeMons at Pebble Beach Photo Gallery

What has to be the wackiest, fun, and anything-goes car show held around the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is the tongue-in-cheek Concours d'LeMons. Backed by Hagerty Insurance, the annual clunker spectacular takes over Laguna Grande Park in Seaside, California. The divisions and classes are a witty sideways glance to the otherwise lofty events during Monterey Car Week.

Where else would you find a Chevy Vega line-up? And who knew that there were multiple examples of the notorious vehicle that hadn't rusted themselves out of existence?

Oh, the K-car platform - there are people that still drive them (and vandalize the LeMons signs!)

The underachieving, misunderstood cousin in the Ford family - the Edsel.

A Gothillac? This vampy and purple-flamed Caddy named "Syren"  was ever-so-slightly naughty.

Short of an invasion, there was a section reserved for the hapless Brits, where a wind-up TR3 settled in.

Perhaps the classic Volvo parked in the wrong spot - it's in remarkable condition.

…unlike this example of rusted, smashed decay that gave the rest of the rustbuckets a run for the grand prize.

A Strada with its mini-me perched on top wasn't at the Concorso Italiano, but was able to find a home in the "Needlessly Complex Italian" division at LeMons.

Back in the 'Merican section, a Pontiac Aztek displayed the tent kit off the back of the much-maligned SUV.

The competition at Concours d'LeMons is fierce. Shameless bribery of the judges is not only condoned, but encouraged. Snacks and beer were left on this faded Bimmer in "Der Self-SatisfiedKrauttenWagen" division.

Trophies and framed certificates are given to the winners. Depending on what vehicles show up, new classes can created on the whim of the judges, as was for an innocuous but sinister van. Gift baskets with lemon wipes and food items (such as sauerkraut) unique to each country of origin were also handed out to division winners.

An East German Trabant even showed up - the loud and inefficient Communist-bloc product an instant prize winner.

A rolling Rolls - the breaks were so bad on this degraded luxury vehicle that it needed a block to stay in place for its turn in the spotlight during the parade of cars.

Giddy-up! This fur-covered land boat whinnied.

The only car produced on the Isle of Man! There's not far to go on the 5-mile wide, 40-mile long Ellan Vannin in the Irish sea. The 1964 Peel Trident microcar has three speeds and no reverse - then again, it's so small, any Manxman worth his salt can lift it up and turn it around.

Who said you need to give up your red wagon when you outgrow it? Just get an adult-sized motorized Radio Flyer.

Worst-in-show winner, er, loser Scott Bosés with his trophy. His 1949 Voisin Biscooter got choked up and needed a few moments after winning. A few moments to restart, that is.

The AMC Pacer. And the 2013 Concours d'LeMons is complete.
