## Resource

Break/Fix Podcast returns with an interview with Vince Finaldi, who is taking over leadership of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance after Sandra Button’s 40-year tenure. Finaldi shares his Italian-American automotive family history, early exposure to imported exotics, and a lifelong buy-fix-sell approach that funded his education after four years as a Marine infantryman, alongside a 22-year career as a trial lawyer handling high-stakes civil cases for sexual abuse victims. He recounts chasing and restoring Lamborghini Miuras, including buying one in 2015 with help from Valentino Balboni and sourcing rare parts through industry contacts. Vince explains how Pebble Beach must evolve carefully by welcoming important newer cars while preserving rigorous judging standards, emphasizing the concours as a “classroom,” its charity mission, youth-access programs, and upcoming celebrations including the 75th anniversary and a major Miura gathering for its 60th anniversary.
