Landmark mansion in Beverly Hills hosts exhibit of 135 Vintage Cars in Fifteen Classes
For the 18th eighth year, auto aficionados gathered at Greystone Mansion Concours d’Elegance at the Doheny Greystone Estate in Beverly Hills, California. The City of Beverly Hills and Friends of Greystone partnered to bring the all-marquee judged Concours of pre-1974 vintage and classic automobiles exhibited by notable car collectors to the City’s enchanted estate which sits atop 18.3 acres encompassed by beautiful gardens. Also on display will be a full field of period motorcycles.
The Concours honored the 100th anniversary of Lincoln Motorcars and the 70th anniversary of Ferrari, with 135 cars in fifteen categories, including Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Porsche, Rolls Royce, Corvette, Cadillac, Pre-War Classics, Post-War American, Post-War British, Post-War Sports, Grand Touring and Special Interest.
The event offered guests rare access to the interior of the 46,000 square foot Doheny mansion as well as gourmet food from Truly Yours Catering and libations featuring Stella Artois and Stella Cidre, Asombroso Tequila, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, and Longshot Coffee and Espresso. The event also featured a pop-up marketplace for shopping of automobilia, books, jewelry, clothing and more.
Monies raised from Greystone Mansion Concours d’Elegance went to support the non-profit organization, Friends of Greystone, whose priorities are to restore, preserve and protect the historic mansion and park.
