The 2015 Greystone Mansion Concours d’Elegance

We got invited back! This year we even brought a full size car to the show…

The Concours d’Elegance is one of the premier charity concours events in the west. It is one of the few car shows that encourages all types of interesting automobiles and motorcycles, from Ferraris to Pontiacs. This GTO (owned by electric dreams) was just one of nearly a dozen muscle cars that shared space with the  Ferraris and Porsches. This year the Best of Show Concours de Sport was awarded to a 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB and the Best of Show Concours d’Elegance to a 1929 Duesenberg Model J DC Phaeton by Lebaron.

Pristine examples of the history of slot cars from the Los Angeles Slot Car Museum (www.lascm.com) were on display by Electric Dreams last year while a four lane Scalextric demo track provided the chance for spectators to participate in the hobby with today’s cars.

Mark Donahue and David Hobbs at the 1971 LeMans 24 Hour race.

Donahue qualified the car 4th behind three Porsche 917LH cars, unfortunately for the Penske team they would meet a similar fate in the race as those three Porsches….engine failure and a DNF.

Slot Classics CJ54 1952 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Coupe rtr—PRE-ORDER NOW!

Custom-made cast-resin body with etched-metal parts. Fully assembled with metal wheels.

This Mercedes-Benz 300SL coupe is a replica of a little-known Mercedes, the first car to use a hinge-forward pivoted panel on the rear deck to act as an air brake—the car was tested at the Hockenheim Ring track and at LeMans in 1952 but the panel did not work well enough and the car was not raced in this form. The air brake panel was developed and used very successfully on the 300SLR roadsters that raced at LeMans in 1955. A 300SL coupe number 22 with a green band around the nose did race at LeMans in 1952 but it retired in the ninth hour. Slot Classics produced replicas of 1952 LeMans-wining 300SL coupe number 21 about ten years ago but they are no longer available.
