In his illustration capturing Monterey Car Week 2026, artist CK Reed reflected on his experiences at The Quail and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

At Cadillac House in Pebble Beach, he had a conversation with Executive Design Director Dominic Najafi regarding design insights. Driving an all-electric Escalade from SFO to Carmel, Reed described the highway as akin to a car show. At The Quail, he witnessed a fusion of luxury automotive display and social event.
