The Beverly Hills Tour d’Elegance, a special event by the team behind the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance, is inviting families to witness some of the world’s rarest and most iconic cars from the sidewalks, shops and restaurants of historic Beverly Hills this Father’s Day, Sunday, June 20. The tour will showcase 50 of the world’s most exquisite and collectable cars from marques like Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ferrari, McLaren and Bentley in a moving display devised to fill the place of the annual Rodeo Drive Concours, a Father’s Day tradition for over 25 years. The Rodeo Drive Concours will return in its established format in 2022.
“We are excited to release the route details and some of the headline vehicles for the upcoming Beverly Hills Tour d’Elegance. This fun, free, family-friendly event supports our local first responders and welcomes an unparalleled display of automotive legends to some of the city’s most famed streets.” – event founder Bruce Meyer
The official route takes cars north on San Vicente Boulevard before turning west onto Burton Way. The route then travels north on Rexford Drive and Canon Drive before heading southbound on Beverly Drive toward Rodeo Drive. Spectators are invited to view the tour from anywhere along the official route and will have excellent views of the event which starts at 10 a.m.
The tour includes rare vehicles like the incredibly valuable 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, 1960 Maserati Typo 61 Birdcage, 1957 Dual Ghia Convertible and the one-of-one 1970 Lancia Stratos Zero. American muscle cars, pre-war collectibles like the 1936 Auburn Boattail Speedster Custom and 1935 Packard Dual Cowl Phaeton by Dietrich, winning race cars, lowriders, Hollywood movie cars and futuristic rides join the tour as well. Celebrity drivers and passengers will add further excitement to this visceral motoring display, as will the Beverly Hills Fire and Police Chiefs.
The tour will be led by O’Gara Coach, the Beverly Hills dealer for McLaren, Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Rolls-Royce and Genesis. O’Gara will bring out vehicles like the McLaren Speedtail hyper-grand tourer and the McLaren Elva open-top roadster to join the already exciting display of classics.
Beverly Hills Mayor Robert Wunderlich, who will be participating in the tour, said, “The people of Beverly Hills endured an uncertain year, forced apart from friends and family. This Father’s Day, we will re-connect in the company of 50 incredible cars while raising funds for our first responders. The Tour d’Elegance on June 20th carries on a beloved Beverly Hills tradition enjoyed by residents and visitors every year.”
The special event benefits both the Beverly Hills Police Officers Association and the Beverly Hills Firefighters’ Association, non-profit charities which provide assistance to first responders injured in the line of duty, maintain scholarship funds for their children and provide other support. The Tour d’Elegance thanks O’Gara Coach as well as Hagerty, Auto Vault Storage, GEARYS Beverly Hills, Two Rodeo Drive, Rodeo Drive Associates and the Beverly Hills Historical Society for its support.
