6th Annual Greystone Mansion Concours 2015 in Beverly Hills, Ca

Porsche roadsters all lined up at the Greystone Concours 2015


The 6th Annual Greystone Mansion Concours took place this past Sunday at the famed Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, Ca. I have been able to attend the Greystone Concours every year and each year I am always intrigued by what vehicles are in attendance. Vehicles are not allowed to be displayed in back to back years, so there is something new each time you go to the show.



Here are some photos of my favorites from the show: 

1925 Lincoln L

The Greystone Concours is not an exclusively European event. It always has a nice group of well maintained and restored classic American cars on display.






1954 Lancia Aurelia





In addition to classic cars, the Greystone Concours displays a number of custom bike and restored motorcycles. 

The MSRP of a Porsche has not changed that much over the years.

I always look forward to the display of vintage automotive prints on display inside the mansion.

The property has ample room for thousands of people. The well maitained grounds were used for guest seating, catered food and event sponsors.





Nice looking Lincoln.

This 1951 Vincent Rapide with Steib Sidecar won Best of Show in the Motorcycle Division.


We posted photos like this one on our Instagram feed from the show. Just look for @calcarcover to see what photos we post from automotive events across the country.

The Best of Show Concours d'Elegance Award Winner was this 1929 Duesenberg Model J LeBaron DC Phaeton.



Thank you to everyone at the Friends of Greystone for hosting another great car show. The event always attracts premiere vehicles and first class sponsors. Check back soon for more photos from upcoming car shows courtesy of California Car Cover.

5th Annual Greystone Mansion Concours Car Show in Beverly Hills

1932 Pierce Arrow

The 5th Annual Greystone Mansion Concours d'Eleganace took place yesterday in Beverly Hills, Ca. I have been at the event every year and it keeps getting better. Between the cars, the amenities and the venue, the City of Beverly Hills and the Friends of Greystone do go above and beyond to improve the concours car show each year. Here are some photos from the Greystone Concours on Sunday.





 The Greystone Concours has a number of different categories of automobiles. From Pre-War Classic Cars and Porsche vehicles, to Post-War American cars and Italian Sports Cars. The same cars cannot be displayed back to back years, so the concours always attracts a new mix of classic cars each year.




1939 Plymouth Convertible Coupe



1939 Cadillac Fleetwood



1961 Autobianchi Bianchina






1954 Oldsmobile S-88 Convertible

1970 Citroen 2CV


1964 Triumph Spitfire

The back patio was filled with patrons as they enjoyed lunch and cocktails.

Children were given the chance to "get behind the wheel" on the slot car track.

 In addition to beautiful cars, there were a number of finely restored and maintained vintage motorcycles.
