A Prelude d'Elegance will be held on July 31, 2010, at Town and Country Village Shopping Center, at Marconi and Fulton Avenues, Sacramento, where some of the cars will be on display prior to the September Concours d'Elegance for the benefit of Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The annual SCCA/SHC Concours is in its 17th year but has been moved from Rancho Cordova to a new, prominent location at the beautiful Sacramento Capitol Mall

The Capitol Concours d’Elegance is a Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Sanctioned event judged by SCCA rules. It is one of a group of Concours in Northern California that allow car entrants to earn points throughout the season culminating with a best of the best in October.

The Concours will cover multiple blocks of Capitol Mall between California’s Capitol and the iconic Tower Bridge on Sunday, September 19, 2010, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, featuring cars of Italy, France and an American Icon, the Ford Thunderbird. The Capitol Concours d’Elegance benefits the Shriners Hospital for Children Northern California.

There is more than the actual Concours though. A “teaser” event on Friday, September 17, 2010, with cars parked in lobbies and plazas up and down Capitol Mall, and on Capitol Mall itself.

A Tour d'Elegance will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, September 18, 2010, for all entrant cars and more,and a Evening Reception d’Elegance.

The Concours Sunday, September 19, includes a Ride and Drive where you will have the opportunity to take a ride in an exotic car or one of several special cars from Mercedes-Benz for a donation to the hospital or give one of the patient children the ride of his or life for a donation.

Cars will line the median down Capitol Mall and vendors and more cars will line the streets on both sides. Garage Style Magazine is hosting an Art and Automobilia tent. http://www.garagestylemagazine.com/home
