The Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance returned to Beverly Hills on Sunday, June 15, to mark its 30th anniversary as Southern California’s ultimate Father’s Day event. Nearly 40,000 fathers, families and car enthusiasts enjoyed world-class vehicles, great food and plenty of fun at the popular free event.

I can’t believe we’ve been doing this for 30 years, but it’s incredible to know that we’ve created special experiences for generations of fathers and their families.”

Eleven other entrants also received awards, including Marcy Hammerstein’s 1957 Ford Thunderbird, which won the Mayor’s Award: Most Elegant.

Nazarian and Rodeo Drive Committee President Kay Monica Rose to present awards.
“We are so proud to host this event in the heart of Beverly Hills,” said Mayor Nazarian. “It is a wonderful way to welcome people to enjoy the best our community has to offer, and I’m honored to carry on the tradition in its 30th year.”
Attendees also enjoyed the North American public debut of the Lamborghini Temerario in the O’Gara Coach of Beverly Hills display, which also included more than a dozen rare supercars and hypercars from McLaren, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Pagani and Bentley. In addition to automotive displays, members of the Beverly Hills Police Department Motor Unit hosted a skills demonstration to showcase advanced maneuvering, cornering and speed control skills.
“This is one of my favorite days of the year because there’s nothing better than strolling through an exceptional car show on a beautiful day with fellow car lovers,” commented Rose. “It’s fantastic to see the city and our Rodeo Drive community come together to support this incredible event. I can’t wait for next year.”
Proceeds from the event directly benefit the community, as Meyer and Mayor Nazarian presented donations to the Beverly Hills Police Foundation and Beverly Hills Fire Chiefs Fund, non-profit charities raising funds for first responders and their families. Additional funds were raised to restore a retired 1975 Cadillac ambulance from the Beverly Hills Fire Department.
This year’s event was supported by the City of Beverly Hills, O’Gara Coach Beverly Hills, GEARYS Beverly Hills, Auto Vault Storage, BMW, Carolwood Estates, Ferrari of Beverly Hills, Galpin Lotus of Beverly Hills, RM Sotheby’s, Two Rodeo, Jason of Beverly Hills, Gravitas Beverly Hills, Richard Orlinski and Hagerty.
