Sunday, 28 August 2016, Petersen Breakfast Club Cruise In (page 14) It’s 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM on the third floor of the parking structure. There’s complimentary parking, coffee & bagels to all that attend! Monterey Classic Car Week Classic Car Week is over! It’s time to plan for 2017—it’s best to get hotel reservations by January. Sure, it’s expensive—the hotels noticed the all-Ferrari traffic jams and they set their rates accordingly. But, if Monterey’s hotels didn’t make big bucks when the crowds come there’d be a lot fewer hotels and you couldn’t get a room at all. You’d be hard pressed to find a week-long cruise for the price of Classic Car Week and you wouldn’t have all the rare, beautiful cars in the world just hoping you’d come and look at them. The really high hotel rates are just for the weekend of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Élégance so it doesn’t cost all that much more to stay for the whole week.
