Southern California is home to some superb car collections: the Nethercutt, the William Lyon Family, and all those cars at The Petersen. The best eventually wind up at Pebble and other spots around the world, but there are many chances for them to shine thoughout the year at various concours in Southern California like the San Marino Motor Classic, coming up June 14 this year in sunny San Marino, Calif., and at the La Jolla Concours. This year was La Jolla's 20th, and organizers packed it with three days of fun, starting with Friday night's Motorvault: Masterpieces of Motion, Mystique, and Mastery, the event’s VIP Opening Soirée held on the Concours lawn. Saturday morning was the La Jolla Tour d’Elegance, gathering 86 participants on Prospect Street for a scenic drive through coastal San Diego and inland toward Rancho Santa Fe, including a stop at a local enthusiast’s collection of Porsches and Ferraris. That was followed Saturday evening by Porsches & Power on Prospect, which was free to the public and transformed the heart of La Jolla Village into a community car show for thousands of guests, featuring 75 Porsches, exotic supercars, and hypercars alongside live music, and gallery receptions. Sunday was the Concours, which included SoCal's best classic cars. There was even a free show Sunday, too, called the La Jolla Motor Car Classic, which featured 72 cars free for the public to ogle. Thanks to all who put this on and congratulations to all the winners. 1955 Lincoln Futura Show CarYou never know what you'll see on Saturday's The Tour.The TourAlfas welcome, too.The TourMustangs and Aston MartinsThe TourPorsche 911 GT3Bell 206AAccording to Wikipedia, the Bell 206 is a family of two-bladed, single- and twin-engined helicopters, manufactured by Bell Helicopter at its Mirabel, Quebec, plant. Originally developed as the Bell YOH-4 for the United States Army's Light Observation Helicopter program, it was not selected by the Army. Bell redesigned the airframe and successfully marketed the aircraft commercially as the five-place Bell 206A JetRanger. The new design was eventually selected by the Army as the OH-58 Kiowa.Winner: Best SunglassesGuy in back has no sunglasses, looks pained. Award WinnerPiazza 1909One of the host restaurants was La Jolla's own Piazza 1909. Quote: "Just a short walk away from the sands of the cove, you can experience the flavors of Italy at PIAZZA 1909. Enjoy handcrafted pasta, wood-fired pizza, and fresh seafood in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our head chef, (surely NOT the guy in the photo?), will bring the flavors of Italy to your table with our large selection of authentic Italian appetizers, main courses, and desserts."There Was Champagne......and a program...and Beautiful People...and future Best of Show EntrantsPorsche & Power on ProspectSaturday night before the concours features a free show on La Jolla's Prospect Street. 1953 Packard Caribbean ConvertibleBruce Spangrud won in Post-War American: 1947–1967 1967 Bizzarrini 5300 StradaMichael & Sally Kerns European Suit with American Heart: 1950–1969 1991 Honda Beat RoadsterScott King and Sandy Edelstein's Honda couldn't be beat.1937 Mercedes Benz 540K Special RoadsterThis beauty was from The Lyon Collection, which was originally assembled by the late Major General William Lyon and continued now by his family. It's among the most significant private collections anywhere.The 540K you see here was introduced at the 1936 Paris Salon. Powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged straight eight, it produced up to 180 horsepower – enough to exceed 100 mph, a remarkable feat for its time. It also sported fully independent suspension, hydraulic brakes, and a four-speed gearbox, features that placed it among the most advanced grand touring cars of its era. It was the coachwork, however, that set the Special Roadster apart, in the judges' eyes. Built by the factory’s own carrosserie at Sindelfingen, the Spezial-Roadster body featured long sweeping fenders, a raked vee’d windshield, low-cut doors with disappearing windows, and a concealed top stowed flush behind the cockpit. Fewer than twenty-six examples were produced before the war, reserved for an elite international clientele. All of which combined to garner Best of Show at this year's La Jolla Concours.1990 Ferrari F40Bill Ceno brought this fabulous Ferrari. 1967 Mercedes 250 SL Roadster1972 Intermeccanica Italia1963 Porsche 356 Coupe1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible1955 Mercedes 300 SLOl' Yeller1959 Buick Special2014 Pagani Zonda Revolucione1956 Ford Thunderbird1992 Acura NSX1929 Packard 626 Sedan1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider1955 Lincoln Capri1964 Lamborghini 350 GT1958 Volkswagen Binz Double Cab1955 Maserati A6GC1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Figoni et Falaschi Disapearing Top1936 Delahaye 135 Competition ...from the other side1935 Packard 1203 Sedan1955 Mercedes 300 SL1949 Jaguar XK120 Alloy Coupe1929 Packard 645 Sport Dual Cowl Phaeton1955 Moretti 1200 Sport Spider1966 VW Bus1936 Packard 1407 Coupe Convertible1927 Packard 336 Runabout1980 Renault 5 Turbo Series 11926 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost (Springfield) Playboy Roadster Deluxe1926 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost (Springfield) 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL CoupeAerial ViewNote the crashing surf and beautiful blue Pacific.1967 Ford GT40 MkIIIBrought by the Petersen Automotive Museum1938-1947 Delahaye Type 145 Chapron Coupe1934 Packard 1101 Coupe1933 Marmon V16 2 Door Convertible CoupeValerie and Aaron Weiss won both Prewar America Open and Outstanding Pre-War with this car.
