The Concours d'Elegance in Santa Barbara Featuring Ferrari

article and photos by Wally Clark

Sunday September 19, 1999

Over 50 Ferraris graced the field at Santa Barbara City College, an event long missing from the car enthusiasts calendar. The day was beautiful and over all the car entries exceeded 180. Packard was also featured which celebrated their 100th anniversary.

Our club provided trophies for six classes and the concours organizer provided four awards of merit for the over all Ferrari class.

Thanks to Tom Shaugnessey for acting as Chief Judge for the Ferrari Classes, and thanks to all the club members who were recruited to help with the judging. Also thanks to all the club members who brought out their cars. The field was magnificent!
