I woke up this morning in Mill Valley (because I live there), and I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the vintage cars lined up in front of Piazza D’Angelo at 7:00 am. This is part of the weekend festivities planned for The Marin Sonoma Concours d’ Elegance.

They proceed to drive from Mill Valley and wind through West Marin to the Rockin’ H Ranch for lunch. The drivers end up at II Davide Restaurant for a wine and cheese event. The drive includes 75 Porsches, including Janis Joplin’s Psychedelic painted Porsche, and 75 pre-1978 vehicles. It looks like a lot of fun!

This evening (Saturday, May 15, 2010) is a reception at The Acqua Hotel for the participants and community supporters of this awesome event.

Sunday, May 16th is the big event at The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Main Civic Center, a landmark building that was the world renowned architect’s last major project. An outstanding selection of 200 classic and special interest cars will be displayed alongside the beautiful lagoon on the grounds of the Civic Center. The gates open at 9:00 am (until 4:00 pm) and general admission is $15.

Frank Howard Allen Realtors is a proud sponsor of this second annual Concours d’ Elegance and the event is benefitting Hospice by the Bay.

See you all there!
