Concours du Soleil Grant Impact
The 2013 Concours du Soleil earned $125,000 for the benefit of the Albuquerque
community. Last year the proceeds were awarded to six nonprofit organizations.
Here is what two of them had to say about the grants.

“The Children’s Cancer Fund of New Mexico is grateful to have been a grant recipient
of the Concours du Soleil event. The $7,000 grant we received was helpful in
providing critical financial assistance to families whose children are battling cancer in
New Mexico. Albuquerque has the only cancer treatment centers for children in the
Sate of New Mexico. No matter where a child is diagnosed or lives, children in New
Mexico must travel to Albuquerque for treatments. Clinic
visits and overnight stays are continually required by families
already emotionally and financially burdened by this terrible
disease. Many families face choosing between paying utility
bills or paying for their child’s treatment. Some families even
face bankruptcy or foreclosure. The generosity of Concours du
Soleil has helped ease some of these burdens.”

THANK YOU

CAR OWNERS
A New Day Youth & Family Services
“The Life Skills Academy (LSA) has grown thanks
to the support of new community partners who are
utilizing the facility and assisting in recruiting new
teachers for the classes. We have on average 8-10
classes each month that teach youth vital life skills
including cooking, resume writing, safe and healthy
relationships, and financial literacy. The Transitional
Living Program (TLP) apartments that are attached to the LSA are now full which means
6 young people are no longer homeless and have the support of New Day to help guide
them into adulthood. We are also proud to announce that this summer we had our very
first TLP graduate: Christian is an exeptional young woman who has been attending
CNM for the past year and plans to transfer to UNM in 2015 to achieve a double major
and Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Communications. We are thankful
for the $10,000 grant from Concours du Soleil that helped us fund these programs.”

2014 Featured Car
MCLAREN 650S
1955 FERRARI 500 MONDIAL SERIES II
Drawing on 50 years
of racing success,
McLaren has created
some of the most iconic
and exhilarating road
cars the world has ever
seen. During the epic
1988 season, Team
Principal Ron Dennis
and Technical Director
Gordon Murray began
thinking about the idea of a McLaren road car. In 1993 the influential McLaren
F1 was launched. Two years later, the F1 GTR dominated at Le Mans, turning the
greatest supercar of its generation into the most successful British race car of
modern times.
McLaren then pioneered the carbon monocoque in the McLaren F1, it took 3,000
hours to make each carbon fiber chassis. It now takes just four hours to create the
carbon MonoCell of the 12C.
The McLaren 650S is the featured car at Concours du Soleil this year. The exotic
supercar was announced in February 2014 as a new model, but based on the
existing McLaren MP4-12C with 25% new parts. Formally unveiled at the 2014
Geneva Motor Show, the 650S gets its name from the power output of its
turbocharged M838T engine which produces 650PS or 641 bhp. The ‘S’ stands
for ‘Sport’, emphasizing the focus on handling, transmission, drivability and
engagement. The 650S shares the MP4-12C’s carbon fiber composite chassis, and
is powered by the same McLaren M838T 3.8-litre V8, twin-turbo engine, but now
developing 641 bhp and 500 lb/ft of torque. Power is transmitted to the wheels
through a seven-speed near instantaneous shift dual clutch gearbox. With a top
speed of 207 mph, the 650S and can accelerate from 0–60 mph in 2.9 seconds
and 0-100 mph in 5.7 seconds.
Owner: Robert Phillips
Designed to compete in the up to two-liter class, this car was painted French Racing Blue
for the original owner, Francois Picard, who took delivery in May 1955. In November, as
a Ferrari team entry, this car won its class at the 1st Gran Prix of Venezuela driven by
Eugenio Castellotti and Harry Schell. One month later, the car went on to class wins in
two races at Nassau driven by Porfirio Rubirosa and Ebby Lunken. It was the first Series
II car imported into the US and quickly garnered another class win at the March 1956,
12 Hours of Sebring driven by Porfirio Rubirosa and Jim Pauley. Following a complete
restoration begun in 2000, it was adjudged a 100 point car, winning its class at the
Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2008, and was awarded the Enzo Ferrari Trophy
by Piero Ferrari for the Best Ferrari in the field at Pebble Beach. In fifteen meets, the car
has been awarded 28 trophies. It is one of three remaining with an original motor of the
original eight made. Goes from 0–100 mph in 5.7 seconds.
This car will only be shown at the Sunday Public Show.

Hollywood Cars
When automobiles hit the streets of America in the early 1900’s, they almost immediately
had an impact on popular culture. Only five minutes in length, the 1903 silent film
Runaway Match is said to be the first car-centric movie ever made. The following years
brought moviegoers everything from the Keystone Cops’ zany car chases through the
Hollywood Hills (1912) and Laurel and Hardy disassembling a line of cars out of frustration
during in a traffic jam in Two Tars (1928), to mobsters riding on running boards with
Tommy guns blazing in 1930’s mobster movies and the Joads’ Hudson sedan taking them
West to escape the Great Depression in The Grapes of Wrath (1940).
In the 1950’s, the post-war baby boom produced a generation with enough income to
buy their own cars. These cars became much more than just transportation, but rather
a lifestyle. Cars began to consume American culture, not just the local drive-ins, but
entertainment as well. Cars became the stars of the movie, were the leads in television
shows and songs about them rocketed to the top of the charts. Cars had taken over
Hollywood. In fact three movies in which cars played a prominent role had won Academy
Awards for Best Picture, The French Connection (1971), Rain Man (1988) and Driving Miss
Daisy (1989).
Ever since, car culture has been a major niche in America and Hollywood. Whether it’s
the main character racing through a car chase or the hottest movie star cruising Sunset
Boulevard in the newest Lamborghini, cars will forever have an awe-inspiring association
with Hollywood. Thus, the Hollywood category. Movie and movie star cars have been
placed in this category to reflect the types of cars used in movies and bring to mind the
image of your favorite actor driving through Hollywood.

“Ectomobile” alongside Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.

dropped floorpan and a chassis with a lower center of gravity than contemporary vehicles
that helped the car handle well – a bonus for racing. The Hornet’s lower and sleeker look
was accented by streamlined styling. This car also plays the role of Doc Hudson in the
animated movie “Cars”. Voiced by Paul Newman, he not only serves as the town judge,
he’s also Radiator Springs’ resident doctor.

The History of Concours du Soleil
The car owners involved decided to formalize the show and model it after the
infamous, “Concours d’Elegance” held in Pebble Beach each year.
YouthSparks Digi Camp, August 2014
2014 Grants
As local business owners interested in the success of the Greater Albuquerque
community, we are focusing our grantmaking on Community and Workforce
Development.
We believe it is our responsibility to help grow business and provide
opportunities for residents. To achieve that, we looked for result-oriented
opportunities educating the next generation so they are well equipped to find
gainful employment.
With those goals in mind, we have selected the following education programs
to receive grants:
1. Microsoft YouthSparks Camps-launched in August of 2014, camps are
preparing middle school students for the technology based jobs of the
future.
2. A New Day Youth & Family Services to provide a home to homeless youth
while learning vital life-skills guiding them to a productive adulthood.
3. UNM’s Lobo MotorSports for the Formula SAE race car program
4. UNM’s Law School for need based scholarships.
1997
Concours du Soleil began as an
informal gathering of the New Mexico
Viper Club displaying cars at a
residence in Albuquerque’s northeast
heights. It quickly grew attracting
more owners and a bigger audience
each year.
2007-2009
The Albuquerque Community Foundation
is asked to take over the planning of
the event. The Cinco Amigos Fund is
established. Each year the weekend
mirrored the previous year, a 2-day
weekend in Los Ranchos. $100,000
in grants have been awarded through
the Foundation The Cinco Amigos
Endowment Fund grows to $90,000.
2004
A “test-drive”. Organizers staged an
informal Concours which proved to
be a wonderful weekend. Everyone
decided it was a good idea and
ventured to plan something on
a bigger scale and Carrie Tingley
Hospital Foundation agreed to be the
beneficiary for the following year.
2011-2013
A road rally was added to incorporate
a Friday event. Drivers were led by a
police escort from Mercedes Benz of
Albuquerque to the Napa Speedway west
of Albuquerque where the rally was held.
Although the rally was fun for everyone
involved, the money raised was not worth
the time and effort to plan so it was not
continued.
2005-2006
Organized by Carrie Tingley Hospital
Foundation, the first Concours du
Soleil was held at its current location
in Los Ranchos. It encompassed
a Saturday night gala and Sunday
public show. Carrie Tingley would
organize the show for two years when
a conflicting fundraising event would
preclude them from participating in
2007. All proceeds were donated to
Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation.
2014
In an effort to raise more funds for
the Albuquerque community, the
organizers have incorporated a Friday
night crowdfunding event. Funding from
this event will benefit the Microsoft
YouthSparks Digi Camp, an innovative
project aimed at educating future
generations in job-rich, high paying
technology jobs.
We invite you to join us in support of these programs all aimed at developing a
workforce that leads to community growth and prosperity.
