The Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance will bring to Norhtern California an event inspired by classic European auto shows. In the early years of the motor industry, after cars had developed reliability, auto makers began to focus on style. The first generation of designers were born, and shows called Concours d'Elegance were created. Cars in these shows were judged solely on elegance of concept and design. At a typical American auto show of today, cars are evaluated mostly on condition. The Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance will combine the European and American models of car shows by evaluating individual classes on interior, exterior, engine and chassis then selecting the Best in Show awards based on elegance and design.
