LCOC members are cordially invited to spend a beautiful spring morning in scenic Ramona, CA to view Terry Knoepp’s amazing post-war car collection.

Please email Nannette Clark nannetteclark@att.net indicating the quantity in your party if you plan to come.
If you were part of LCOC’s Western National Meet in San Diego in 2015 you may remember a driving tour to Terry’s collection as part of the fun. Terry’s rare 1940 Lincoln Continental cabriolet like the one in the lead photo is part of the June 3 display.
For some of us June 3 will be a return to yesteryear once more. For others it will be a new experience viewing seldom seen vehicles such as a 1937 LaSalle Coupe, 1941 Buick Roadmaster 4 dr. convertible, 1947 Packard Custom Super Clipper, 1949 Hudson Commodore sedan, 1949 Buick Super sedan, 1949 Chrysler New Yorker coupe, 1950 Ford convertible, 1951 Hudson Hornet sedan, 1951 Buick Roadmaster sedan’ 1953 Chrysler Imperial hardtop, 1957 Ford Thunderbird’ and a 1964 Porsche 356L coupe.
To make the event even more festive, we’ll join with fellow car buffs from the Southern California Imperial Owners, Inc. and the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) San Diego members. Bring a name badge and a folding chair to enjoy the social aspects of the visit.
Any questions, please let us know. Thanks and hope to see you there.

Chairman Aaron Weiss advises that online registration will simplify the process by eliminating paper copies of even tickets. You can either save the ticket files on your mobile phone or print them out.
The 2023 event will include bleachers for those that wish to watch the Awards Ceremony. The Art Expo and Sales will be held on Saturday afternoon followed by the Symphony of Cars Gala.

It takes a lot of people to operate the San Marino Motor Classic. If you wish to volunteer, please call Aaron at 818-606-0638 or send him an email to flyingagrage@gmail.com. Your call or email will be responded to immediately.
