Rodeo Drive Concours
Delights Dads By Dustin Troyan Photography by Steve Geldman Image Photo Motorsports Although time has passed since Father's Day, we can't forget what a special day it was in Beverly Hills. Sure, it's because it was Father's Day, but it was also the Rodeo Drive Concours, otherwise known as the "Father's Day Car Show." Mastermind of the event and all-around car-guy-extraodinaire Bruce Meyer spearheaded the show, which is now globally recognized. What could be better than checking out some of the rarest and most collectible cars while walking around with 30,000 to 40,000 of your closest friends. This year was the 25th anniversary of the event, and as always, Bruce and his team pulled off the best show to date. The theme of the day was “silver painted” cars, and they were in abundance. With collectors from all over the state and further pulling out their finest, it is an absolutely amazing show that is free to all spectators. There is another fun aspect of this show and that is that all the other exotic, classic, and rare vehicles are literally littered all over Beverly Hills wherever they can find a parking spot. As there is limited space at the Rodeo show, the entirety of Beverly Hills comes alive with collector cars. To see and hear these amazing vehicles driving down the street while hanging out in Beverly Hills is truly special. It is a who’s who of car collectors, celebrities, and enthusiasts alike. If you have never attended the event, be sure to mark your calendars for the 2019 event. It is truly a wonderful experience, and I suggest attending. Make reservations at Dad’s favorite restaurant for lunch after the show and make a day of it. n
