Rancho Palos Verdes, CA - July 11, 2015 – Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe will serve as Grand Marshal of the 2015 Palos Verdes Concours d'Elegance to be held at the Los Verdes Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes, on Sunday, September 20, according to Concours Chairman Ray Johnson.

The Concours is a 501(c) (3) charity event with proceeds benefitting Palos Verdes Rotary Foundation charities, including Harbor Area Boys & Girls Clubs, and Palos Verdes Art Center's community outreach programs, including art experiences for differently-abled youths and adults in Los Angeles County.

Supervisor Knabe represents the Fourth District which stretches from Marina del Rey to the Palos Verdes Peninsula to Long Beach and includes Catalina and San Clemente Islands.

'I am honored to be selected as the Grand Marshall for such a prestigious event,' said Supervisor Knabe. 'While the Concours is a wonderful opportunity for the public to see such rare and beautiful cars, the event will also benefit local community organizations who help those most in need.'

The theme of the 2015 Palos Verdes Concours d'Elegance will be Automotive Standards of the World, and the featured Marques will be Cadillac, Darrin Coachwork, and Ferrrari according to Exhibition Committee chairman Dick Croxall.

'Los Verdes is high in the Palos Verdes hills with impressive ocean views of Catalina Island and the coastline all the way to Malibu. It is exhibitor friendly with close-by parking for trucks and trailers and easy exhibitor and attendee access to refreshments and restrooms. The exhibit areas are a short walk from the clubhouse and there will be shade areas and food and beverage service available on the exhibit grounds, according to Johnson.

'Now in its 23rd year, the Palos Verdes Concours will continue to be one of the top shows in California if not the nation,' he said.

Twenty one classes have been established for the 2015 Concours to showcase a variety of automobiles that exemplify excellence in the automotive world. The classes include a reprise of the Darrin coachwork among the classes that are acknowledged to be leaders and innovators in automotive design, engineering, and elegance.

Preceding the Concours on Saturday, September 19 will be a Tour d'Elegance of the Palos Verdes Peninsula by 50 elegant automobiles. Supervisor Knabe will be riding in the leading car.
