The Dana Point Concours d\u2019Elegance was a spectacular success, attracting huge crowds and a stunning field of vehicles including a 1934 Voisin C-25 Aerodyne that won the prestigious Best of Show title during the 30th anniversary event on Sunday, June 24, at the St. Regis Monarch Beach resort in Dana Point, California. The two-day celebration of Southern California\u2019s automotive heritage honored Bruce Meyer for his contributions to the hobby and featured a Private Collection Tour, automotive fine art exhibition, a flyover of six vintage airplanes organized by Capt. Jason Dwinger and the inaugural Beach Cruisers Show.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As part of the celebration, the Dana Point Concours also honored 50 years of Shelby American. Notable Southern California Collector Bruce Meyer was recognized for his 1962 Shelby Cobra, which is the first production Cobra ever built; it placed first in the Shelby Cars class. Meyer was also honored during the weekend with the 2012 Dana Point Concours d\u2019Elegance Automotive Icon Award for his tireless work in the automotive industry and passion for growing the hobby.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBest of Show\u201d award in the motor-cycle class was bestowed upon a 1926 Brough Superior (pictured below), while the 1934 Voisin C-25 Aerodyne from the notable collection of Peter and Merle Mullin was crowned the automotive \u201cBest of Show\u201d for its exceptional lines and remarkable details. Originally an airplane manufacturer, Frenchman Gabriel Voisin turned his attention to building expensive, luxury automobiles in the early 20th century that became known throughout the world for their innovation. Additionally, this year\u2019s \u201cFeatured Marque Award\u201d was presented to a 1956 Jaguar D-Type from the \u201cLegends of Le Mans\u201d Racecars class. Owned by Greg and Debbie Johnson of Irvine, California, the Jaguar captured the trophy because the English sports car best embodied the spirit of the Le Mans racers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
