The 59th annual HIllsborough Concours D'Elegance
August 2, 2015
8:59 PM MST
Located at the ideal setting of a golf course and notably the last remaining Concours show in the Bay Area, the 59th annual Hillsborough
Concours D’elegance was held July 19th at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Burlingame, CA. One would expect lots of road noise from the
nearby I-280 expressway but that isn’t he case, nor is it what attendees heard.
Outstanding examples of automotive
elegance and sport.

 The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering overwhelms the senses
Despite the hot weather, and thankful it wasn’t a pavement based show with heat reflecting off the asphalt, the commentary on the
public address system by the ever-smooth John Joss was delightful. And so was the variety of automobiles, from pre-war luxury cars,
newer exotics, racers, a small collection of motorcycles and basically everything that is cool whether old, new, slow or fast. Rolling
artwork and sculptures, as always.
Heavy on giving back, the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit Organization. There are numerous
other sponsors and charities involved. One particularly special moment was the remembrance of friends of the show that had since
passed on. Instead of a moment of silence, it was a rev-off. A superbly clever idea of revving the engines of the participating cars at the
top of the pre-announced hour as a tribute to those no longer with us. A great and memorable idea.
Hopefully the show will continue its wonderful existence with its outstanding community support and sponsors as a premier event in the
Bay Area while a preview of the Monterey Weekend at a fraction of the cost. Be sure to check out the website for more information, the
class winners and the Best of Show, a stunning 1964 Ferrari 250LM.
