The Rodeo Drive Committee, in conjunction with the
City of Beverly Hills, held its annual Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, June 15 in honor of Father’s Day.
Tens of thousands of southern Californian families
spent the sunny Sunday afternoon walking along Rodeo
Drive, admiring the classic and modern cars featured
in this year’s show, themed, “Haute Wheels: Celebrating Car Couture.”
More than 100 cars were showcased along the 300
and 400 blocks of the street, including an original $20+
million Ferrari 250 GTO, a 2006 Bugatti Veyron and an
exceptional Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport.
The event was open to the public at no cost.
