SAN MARINO, Calif. (June 13, 2017) – A 1938 Delahaye Model 135 Roadster by Chapron was named “Best of Show Pre-War,” and an ultra-rare 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Alloy Body won “Best of Show Post-War” accolades at the San Marino Motor Classic.
In its seventh year, San Marino Motor Classic exhibited 357 cars and welcomed 10,000 attendees. The show raised more than $300,000 for the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA, the Rotary Club of San Marino, and USC Trojan Marching Band. To date, the event has raised $1.6 million for charity.
“The show has become a staple in Southern California,” says Aaron Weiss, event chairman and co-founder. “This year’s show offered the most diverse assemblage of concours-level vehicles in our seven-year history.”
More than 100 vehicles earned class honors and other special recognition awards at the event, which also
included a new category for Japanese manufacturers. A 1967 Mazda R360 microcar won that class, which also included classics from Toyota, Datsun, and Honda.
The event featured a broad spectrum of collector cars from Brass and Nickel Era to American muscle, hot rods and everything in between. Ferrari, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz were showcased alongside Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce.
Renowned collector David SK Lee displayed eight cars, including a McLaren P1 GTR and 1964 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Competizione, which was named the “Most Significant Ferrari” at the show.
