25th Annual Huntington Beach Concours d’Elegance

Huntington Beach Concours d’Elegance is a two day event offers the family live entertainment while admiring some of the most beautiful automobiles and motorcycles in Southern California on the picturesque lawns of Huntington Beach Central Park.

Saturday’s “Back to the Beach” offers a wide variety of hot rods with a salute to Ford and “HEMI” and a tribute to “Donut Derelicts”. Grand Marshall Fireball Tim Lawrence, movie car designer, as seen on Discovery’s “World’s Most Expensive Cars”, will be filming “Fireball Tim’s World of Cars” and conducting DragTracks® racing. The Mai Tais Surf band and South Pacific dancers are sure to pick up the pace during the day.

Sunday features the traditional Concours with Ford and Ferrari and Ducati and Goldwing motorcycles as the honored marques. John Clinard, Ford’s western regional manager for public affairs, is the Grand Marshall. Dave Kunz, KABC-TV automotive specialist, will be the master of ceremonies. Free ice cream and Hot Wheels racing for the kids and a live band for the adults highlight the event. Also, the Sixth Annual Student Art Contest will be conducted at the VIP Luncheon.

The Concours hosts 120+ classes (19 for Ford alone) and over 400 cars, motorcycles and bicycles, as well as entertainment, food and vendors will bring back the good ole days with a dash of the future.

The “World’s Fastest Indian” motorcycle will be on display both days. Remember the movie? Proceeds are donated to the Huntington Beach Children’s Resource Center at the Huntington Beach Central Library by the Huntington Beach Concours d’Elegance, a non-profit corporation.
