2020 San Marino Motor Classic Goes Virtual; Entries Due by July 10, Judging on Aug 13

Good news for collector car buffs throughout our entire LCOC Western Region! The San Marino Motor Classic in conjunction with the Petersen Automotive Museum invites you to enter your collector car in a one day virtual car show to be aired on August 13, 2020 from 10:15 to 11 a.m. All entries will be judged. Awards to winners. Per the old cliche, you do not need to be present to win, but you do need to enter.

After two attempts to hold the popular event live this year were cancelled due to COVID-19, organizers have restructured this year’s classic into a virtual show with prizes being awarded in numerous classes.

Entrants are being asked to submit 90-second video tours of their vehicles following a prescribed format.
