For 63 consecutive years the Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance has built and maintained a proud tradition of honoring and celebrating excellence in automotive design and engineering. The dedication of the Concours leadership and volunteers, pride of its entrants, and devotion of its attendees has earned Hillsborough the proud record as the longest continually running Concours in the world.

This year, the 64th annual Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance, will showcase more than 200 of the world's most treasured collector cars on the 18th fairway of Burlingame's Crystal Springs Golf Course on July 21, 2019.

I haven't been to the Hillsborough Concours for years. I used to go every year but for some forgotten reason I have been recently. If my schedule permits I will be there this year; It was always a good time.
