Ferrari F-40 1992 1st Place

The Ferrari F40 Reunion Group
to join Concorso Italiano in celebrating 20 Years of the Ferrari F40 in the USA. This is the second reunion of Ferrari supercars to be held at Concorso. The first Ferrari supercar, the 288 GTO held its 25th anniversary reunion at Concorso in 2009. A world record was set by the GTO owners for the largest gathering of 288 GTO's in one location. The 288 successor is the iconic F40. The Concorso will host the F40 owners for their reunion, and spokesman and owner Jas Dhillon, notes they have aspirations to; "Our goal is to have well over forty F40s on the fairways at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch this August 13th and we hope that fans and enthusiasts will plan to join us for this historic occasion."


Concorso Italiano 2010
A personal report by Michael Rockich.
Legions of Ferraris, vistas of Lamborghinis, literally wave after wave of sports cars and other exotics including Maseratis, De Tomaso Panteras and Mangustas, Alfa Romeos, Fiats, Lancias, and non Italian marques as well covered the soft green fairways at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch. One must see to believe. The occasion was the 25th iteration of the Concorso Italiano on August 13, one of the largest and most significant gatherings of Italian automobiles in the world.

Another aspect of the Concorso is the opportunity to speak owners of the exotic cars. A number of owners often sit next to their cars during the event. Much can be learned by speaking with owners, as they love their cars, and often enjoy expounding on them.

Ferrari 250GT SWB 1961

Eight Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinettas to be on the green to honor the car's 50th anniversary.

The 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance®
marks the 60th year of this grand event. With Jaguar marking its 75th anniversary the two icons of automotive excellence are again together and forever intertwined. Jaguar has always been an important car taking many high profile positions during the Concours's 60 years. It is now the 2010's featured marque.

With Jaguar in many ways taking us back to the events earliest days, Chairman Emeritus Jules "J." Heumann noted, "The earliest Pebble Beach Concours had a special feeling; it was all new, and everyone participated with great gusto and style, People brought carpets and silver candelabras for picnicking and it wasn't uncommon to see folks wearing cutaway coats and morning trousers." Mr. Heumann has attended every Pebble Beach Concours to date.

The Inaugural Sonoma Marin Concours d' Elegance
The concours was held at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael, California on May 17th. This is a beautiful location. It was a hot, but beautiful day. There were 180 classic cars on display, and many visitors to enjoy the beauty of these classics. Among one featured was a 1929 Duesenberg. There were many rare vehicles to admire. The judging was different than most concours events. Convertibles could be shown with the tops down. Trunks were closed. There was no testing of electrical, and the engines were not started. The undercarriage was not judged. The judges were interested in the history of the vehicles. It was a great inaugural event for the Marin Sonoma Concours d' Elegance. It really was a nice concours, although we prefer the usual concours judging. I should mention that the "Goody Bag" was very impressive. The best we have ever seen. An unusual flashlight/tool kit, bottle of wine, CD, Hard-bound excerpt of a novel, polishing items and cloths, etc.
