Following the 30th year anniversary of their award winning event, Gordon & Molly McCall, the husband and wife duo behind McCall’s Motorworks Revival, have announced the sale of their event to collector car insurance giant, Hagerty. McCall’s event often referred to as the Jet Center Party, is one of Monterey Car Week’s most prominent events. Many collectors and aficionados annually arrive for the Wednesday night party as the precursor to the famed Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
Founded in 1991, the McCall’s have created an event that regularly attracts over 3,000 auto, moto, and aero enthusiasts as well as 60 prominent luxury sponsors. This year’s event featured corporate sponsors such as, Gulfstream, Louis Roederer, and the Hotel Espacio, which sponsored this year’s Style Award. Gordon McCall who will stay with the event as a consultant, stated “Motorworks grew from a small gathering of friends getting ready for car week into a large car culture festival almost overnight.” Adding, “however, the spirit has always remained the same – a passionate focus on the best cars, aircraft and culture all wrapped-up in the allure of an intimate, strolling dinner party. Molly and I are thrilled to assist the Hagerty team as we continue to find innovative ways to delight our guests.” Highlights of this year’s event included an Aston Martin DB5 Superleggera, Caviar, Gold Leaf Sushi Rolls, and a stunning Gulfstream G500.
Over the past two years, as part of Hagerty’s marketing efforts, their firm has acquired a number of celebrated events to their annual roster, including the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, the California Mille, the Concours d’Elegance of America and the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Hagerty also participants in the annual classic car auction week in Scottsdale, Arizona and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance as well as more than 2,000 other car events annually. As of yet, Hagerty’s most anticipated event is the ‘Festival of the Unexceptional, a light-hearted, concours-style event’ which is one of the UK’s most acclaimed automotive events.
The 31st annual Motorworks Revival is scheduled to occur on Wednesday, August 17, 2022 under Hagerty’s management.
