This year, the Concours d’Elegance will kick off on Friday, October 29th with the Mille Miglia Salute, a one hundred plus mile rally tour of the Central Coast’s back roads and winery stops. The tour will be open only to the historic vehicles of the Concours weekend events. The Mille Miglia is an open-road endurance race which originally began in 1927 in Italy.
The Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club will be the host venue for The Santa Barbara Concours d’Elegance.
The three day Concours event features the “Concourso d’Italiano”, honoring the design and engineering of sleek and powerful Italian automobiles, the “American Classics Auto Show”, featuring the creativity and nostalgia of American muscle cars, hot rods and custom cars, and the spectacular “Concourse d’Elegance”, a classic car show judged by committees made up of some of the best known car aficionados in the world. Entrants are challenged to bring a variety of specific makes and models, returned to their factory delivered state – down to the consistent manufacturing flaws. Participants will receive points at the end of each show, resulting in National Winners with special awards and prizes.
The festival will also feature live music, exquisite food and fine wine.
