Media Release | San Marino Motor Classic
A fabulous weekend was had by all who attended the 14th annual San Marino Motor Classic in Lacy Park on August 24, 2025, ending the summer in style by joining us for this classy Classic weekend of events.
Thousands of spectators were thrilled to visit the prestigious Concours d’Elegance, where many of the world’s finest classic cars were on display and judged. A 1917 Packard Runabout owned by Linda and Robert Mollno of San Marino, CA was awarded Best In Show Pre War, and the Best In Show Post War award was presented to a 1952 Chrysler Ghia owned by Mark Hyman, St. Louis, MO. A complete list of award winners is posted on our website.
It was a wonderful opportunity to see automotive history and innovative technology. A great time: classic cars, food & drinks, artwork, and vendors – raising over $400,000 for charity!

The sold-out Gala, supporting the Cancer Support Community of San Gabriel Valley, was attended by over 675 guests who enjoyed an open bar, gourmet dinner, live music, and a presentation of twenty classic cars. Two generous guests both purchased a tour of Jay Leno’s Garage.
