The 29th Annual Dana Point Concours d’Elegance will showcase 200 vehicles, including two classics from the Nethercutt Collection, vying for honors in 30 different classes at the St. Regis Monarch Beach June 24-26.
“This distinguished group of automobiles that will be displayed on the lawn represent some of the most elegant vehicles ever built,” said Dick Waitneight, the Concours’ chairman, explaining that only the best examples of pre-war classics, European exotics and American muscle are invited to compete.
From the Nethercutt Collection are two storied vehicles, a black cherry 1931 Bugatti type 51 coupe built as a Grand Prix racer and a 1913 Mercedes Double Phaeton-Torpedo, one of the few 37/95 examples to survive for more than 85 years.
The event also celebrates the anniversary of the first Benz automobile with a striking example, a red ‘55 Mercedes-Benz gullwing. The Jaguar Club of America will also showcase some of its members’ most celebrated makes and models, including a black 1962 Jaguar Series 1 XK-E convertible
Two other historic automobiles that will be shown on the lawn are a 1927 Bentley 6.5 Litre BX 2416 and a 1931 Marmon 145 four-door convertible.
