We are planning an exciting weekend of activities for the 2010 Presidio of San Francisco Concours d'Elegance. This year's event will celebrate the marque of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

Since its inception, the Concours d' Elegance has provided an opportunity for its attendees to experience automotive history in a purely physical perspective. By placing a Concours against the backdrop of the fabled San Francisco Presidio, this Concours d' Elegance combines history of the motorcar with one of California's truly significant landmarks.

In the tradition of a true Concours d'Elegance, The Presidio of San Francisco Concours will bring motorcar enthusiasts together to enjoy a grand automobile show on the green at the Presidio MAIN POST. This truly spectacular venue is nestled in one of the most beautiful public spaces in the country: the Presidio of San Francisco, a national park characterized by many wooded areas, hills, and scenic vistas overlooking the famed Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay.

To kick-off the fabulous Concours weekend on Saturday night, July 17, 2010, Rolls-Royce will host An Affair to Remember. This fete will be held at the historic Qvale showroom on Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco.

The Concours will be held on Sunday, July 18, 2010 and will combine not only one-hundred years of motorcars on display, but also a Cigar & Scotch Lounge, fashion show, gourmet food and wine tasting. The Concours d'Elegance is a motorcar event like no other; our feeling is we need to put on a fete like no other. The Presidio lends itself to the vision of an automobile exhibit that will complete the California experience of the Concours.

This is an event you will want to be a part of! Whether it be as an entrant, sponsor, vendor, advertiser or an attendee you will enjoy your day at the Presidio.
