The Annual San Luis Obispo Concours was recently held at the Madonna Inn, bringing in an eclectic mix of classic, unique, interesting and fun vehicles for judging. “This show is unique in the area because it is the only car show locally that features a number of high-end quality vehicles being judged by concours standards,” said Kris Kington-Barker, executive director of Hospice of San Luis Obispo County, which was the facilitator and non-profit beneficiary of the show. “It is also a show that features a lot of vehicles you would not normally see at a concours event like Pebble Beach.” Vehicles competed for first, second and third place within specific classes with Two Best of Show Awards for pre- and post-World War II. This year’s event brought in owners of Cadillacs and Volkswagens of the time period.
