Palos Verdes Concours D’Elegance 2018
Palos Verdes Concours D’Elegance 2018 is once again being held at Torrance Airport’s Louis Zamperini Field (Robinson Helicopter). The event will take place on Sunday, September 30, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You will be able to view vintage aircraft at the historic Zamperini Field and entrance to the Western Museum of Flight will be included in the ticket price. The Concours is an event for all ages, and children are welcome. The Concours D’Elegance is different from a car show; it brings together vintage autos that adhere to the automobile’s original design and build, that are judged on both their adherence to the original state of their manufacture and the quality level of their fit and finish. Beauty and elegance are rewarded. Add to this the inclusion of some incredible vintage aircraft, and a day of fascination in store for you. This year’s special auto outlook are the California Coach Builders and Ferrari Automobiles. This years Masters of Ceremonies will be Ed Justice Jr & Dave Kunz. Ed Justice, Jr. was born into the automotive world. His family’s history in the world of auto racing runs as deep and rich as the sport itself. Dave Kunz is a 26-year-plus employee of ABC7 and became the Eyewitness News Automotive Specialist in 2001.
There will be food for purchase during the day from a variety of the finest gourmet food trucks in the area. The PV Concours adult refreshments tents will have craft beer and wine for purchase.
Pre-paid tickets prices are $45, ($50 the day of the event) and children under 13 are free. Parking for the event is free thanks to TAYCO Engineering. There is also a VIP package which includes up-close parking, elegant tent seating, catered luncheon, premium wine & craft beer (located adjacent to the Awards Ceremony) at the cost of $150/ticket.
