IT’S A GUY THING
from the
Concours archives
The Hillsborough Concours
d’Elegance also holds an annual
Tour d’Elegance, a road-rally for
Concours participants and car
enthusiasts. It is held a day prior
to the main event where “The
Drive is Half the Fun!” Along with
a magnificent drive on 30 to 40
miles of the Bay Area’s most
scenic roads, there are often
special events planned that will
ensure a memorable day. After
all, this is what cars were intended
for - DRIVING! Space is limited!

Add a winding box and stay on time. Available in

from the Concours archives
Under the current leadership of Rob & Sue Fisher, and true to the
dedication and hard work of many volunteers and leaders before
them, the Hillsborough Concours has truly been a coming together
of the community. “The relationship between the Hillsborough
Concours and Kerns transcends the typical “sponsor” relationship.
The great people at Kerns are members of our Concours “family”.
We share a common love for our local community along with a
desire to have a great time with family and friends. Without their long
term support, our show simply would not have continued to exist.”
- Rob Fisher, Chairman Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance
