2015 La Jolla Concours d'Elegance in San Diego

If you haven't been before, this classic motor car extravaganza weekend gathers over 300 of the most elite car collections from around the world atop the bluffs of La Jolla Cove at the Ellen Browning Scripps Park. La Jolla means "The Jewel" in Spanish and we couldn't think of a more fitting place to experience these incredible vehicles than outdoor, overlooking the Pacific Ocean while surrounded by some of the most luxurious real estate in the world. While we know that there will be some amazing classic cars and modern luxury as well as sports cars, it's always a thrill to walk by something you've never seen before. 

It's remarkable to think that in an era not too far gone away that cars were intended to have style as much as function. They existed in an era where performance was measured in horsepower and gas milage and safety were almost secondary. Luckily there are still those that cherish those machines and keep them running.

While there is nothing wrong with these modern cars who are incredible machines in their own right - delivering incredible efficiency, safety, and still looking so beautiful my attention was constantly drawn to the classics from the past. Luckily for me, there was a huge variety of cars from today as well as yesterday - and even a few completely custom cars that were one-of-a-kind works of art.
