Greystone Mansion Concours d'Elegance May 1, 2011:
2nd Annual
Thanks to the City of Beverly Hills and The Friends of Greystone, this was an amazing event . It featured American and European vehicles from the pre- and post-war eras, some more than 100 years old.
The second annual Greystone Mansion Concours d'Elegance was held Sunday in Beverly Hills, California, and showcased more than 150 rare, vintage and unique cars and motorcycles on the grounds of the historic, 55-room, 18-acre mansion and city park. Proceeds from the event benefited the Friends of Greystone, an organization dedicated to the preservation, restoration and protection of the estate, which was completed in 1928.
The Concours took place in the estate's main parking lot, with vehicles grouped together in Packard, Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari, Pre-War American, Post-War American, American Sports, Post-War British, Pre-War European, Post-War European Touring, Post-War European Sports and Motorcycle classes. Sky and Sterling were volunteers and our job was to help park the show cars as they arrived,
Jay Leno came on Saturday to meet with the Boy Scouts who were also volunteers, and then on Sunday he did show up with his Duesenberg Beverly Murphy sedan. The Boy Scouts did a great job!
Not to be outdone by their vehicles, some owners dressed for the occasion with one Pre-War European entrant dressed in a period vest-and-short-pants outfit. The owner of a white-and-shocking-pink Thunderbird came in a white suit, accented with a pink shirt.
The mansion hosted seminars and a variety of vendors. Attendees gathered around the estate's many fountains and courtyards to enjoy food and drink, and take in the beautiful city views on the bright, cloudless May afternoon while a jazz combo played.
Awards were presented at the end of the day in 11 car and three motorcycle categories. The winning vehicles included:
Packard -- 1929 Dual Cowl Phaeton owned by Dana & Lianne Graham
Pre-War American -- 1937 Cord 812 Sportsman owned by Tony Vincent
