The 21st Palos Verdes Concours at the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes will celebrate the “Age of Elegance” by showcasing some of the world’s most luxurious classic automobiles, according to Chairman Peter Kunoth.
The featured classes include Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Duesenberg and the coachwork of Raymond Dietrich. The Concours will also recognize the centennial of Aston Martin, the 60th anniversary of the Corvette, and the 50th anniversary of the Loewy Avanti. Other classes will showcase post-war luxury cars and a full range of sports cars. Preservation cars — automobiles that are in original and well maintained condition — will be displayed alongside the restored cars.
