“Lincoln has been our partner for two decades and has helped create a truly one-of-a-kind art show at the country’s most renowned automotive event,” said Ken Eberts, Automotive Fine Arts Society president. “Their patronage has helped heighten awareness of automotive fine art across the globe and vault our members to the forefront of the genre. We’re pleased to enter another Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance with Lincoln as a valued partner who underscores the value and prestige of this event.”
