The 17th Annual Capitol Concours d'Elegance will be held in its new home on the greens of Capitol Mall. All proceeds will benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children®- Northern California. This spectacular classic car event will showcase more than 100 exceptional examples of American and European vintage and exotic cars and feature the cars of Italy and France as well as Ford Thunderbird.
"We are excited to present our Concours at the new Capitol Mall venue and plan to grow the event in this location over the coming decade. We know the public will be thrilled with our special features which will line several blocks with incredible vintage cars, sports cars and exotics," said Alan Anderson, Director of Development for Shriners Hospitals for Children®-Northern California.
Among the cars on display, enthusiasts can expect to see impeccable examples from top classic car collections plus select examples on loan from the California Automobile Museum. DiMora Motorcar will also have some special surprises for the crowd.
The Capitol Concours d'Elegance Presented by Shriners Hospital for Children® - Northern California offers live music as well as activities for children. Guests will have the opportunity to donate to the hospital in return for a ride in an exotic car such as Ferrari or Lamborghini or one of the surprises from Mercedes-Benz during the Ride & Drive. Visitors will enjoy great food and incredible vendor exhibits such as Garage Style Magazine's Automobilia and Art Pavilion where vintage neon and metal signs, posters, books and other memorabilia can be purchased for the home and garage.
Planned peripheral events include a Saturday morning, September 18th Tour d'Elegance: which takes car entries along a scenic route of the area, followed by Le Gala d'Overture: a reception that evening on the 25th floor of the US Bank building, offering guests a 360 degree view of the Sacramento area and a bird's eye view of the Concours venue. Saturday, July 31 is the Prelude d'Elegance "teaser" event held at Sacramento's Town and Country where beautiful examples of classic and exotic cars will be displayed to promote the event.
