San Francisco Region is one of the very few regions in the nation that still sanction Concours, a tradition that goes back 50 years. Concours d'Elegance is a display of classic vintage and exotic cars, polished to their finest. Spectators can view these fine examples of the automotive past and talk with proud owners about their fascinating history. SCCA needs additional volunteers as field crew and judges. See the bottom of this page for details and contact information.
