Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance marks its 25th anniversary June 17 with special line up of the rarest & most exotic cars ever built. 

Think back, what was the last cool Father’s Day gift you got? Most likely, it was some sort of tie or socks. Or if you’re lucky, maybe a nice dinner somewhere. But we know what you really want to do on the day reserved for dads. And that’s scope out countless supercars, preferably those that are ultra-rare and/or nearly priceless. And we’ve got just the event for you: the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance in the heart of Beverly Hills, California.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Father’s Day tradition, taking place on June 17. Amid the world-famous shopping mecca that is Rodeo Drive, you’ll find over 100 of the rarest and most exotic automobiles ever built. Over 30,000 visitors are expected to attend this year’s Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance, and the event organizers have whipped up something extra special for them.

To mark the event’s 25th anniversary, a special class of silver cars will line the exclusive Beverly Hills avenue. It’s a stellar lineup, one that includes the 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic by Ghia from the Sydorick collection, along with the 1994 Bugatti EB110 SS from the Mullin Automotive Museum. Those two will be joined by a number of other notable, celebrity owned cars. Including director John Frankenheimer’s 1963 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III from L.A.’s Petersen Automotive Museum.
