I love vintage cars, so I’m more than excited to be attending the Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, May 7th 2017 at Greystone Mansion. This incredible event is not just a must-see for lovers of vintage automobiles, but also for those that are unfamiliar with these beautiful, elegant cars.

Over 150 classic and exotic cars and motorcycles will compete at this world-class event for “Best of Show,” “Peoples’ Choice” and “Best Per Class” among many other awards. Past winners include a 1904 Schacht Model K voted Best in Class, 1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost for Best of show, a Best in Class 1963 Shelby Cobra and a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ for Best of Show.

The all-inclusive ticket includes entrance to the show, gourmet food and beverages, and all activities. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Friends of Greystone, a non-profit organization dedicated to the ongoing maintenance and restoration efforts for the mansion.

Ticket Price: $135.00 per person, children 10 years and younger are free.  The historic Greystone Mansion is located at 905 Loma Vista Drive, Beverly Hills 90219. The event runs from 10am until 4pm. To purchase tickets call 310-285-6830.

About Joan Alperin

Joan was born in Brooklyn and spent many years working as an actress in New York City. Even though she traveled extensively, Joan couldn't imagine living anywhere else.. Well one day, she met someone at a party who regaled her with stories about living in L. A. specifically Topanga Canyon. A few weeks later she found herself on an airplane bound for Los Angeles. Joan immediately fell in love with the town and has been living here for the last twenty years and yes, she even made it to Topanga Canyon, where she now resides, surrounded by nature, deer, owls and all kinds of extraordinary alien creatures.. Joan continued acting, but for the last several years (besides reviewing plays and film) she has been writing screenplays. Joan was married to a filmmaker who created the cult classic films, (way before she knew him) Faces of Death. As a result of his huge following, they created a funny movie review show entitled Two Jews on Film, where Joan and her husband, John would review movies and rate them with bagels You can see their reviews by going to youtube.com/twojewsonfilm. Although it's now only one Jew - Joan is occasionally joined by her beautiful Pekingnese and Japanese Chin.
