That is the Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance. It is the longest continual running concours in the USA. I have been going to it sine 1969 as it used to be held on the field of the Elementary and Jr. High schools I graduated from. It is now held on the 18th fairway of Crystal Springs on the reservoir about 20 min south of San Francisco.

Great coverage Van. Some truly rare, neat cars. How did your Camaro fare?

My son showed the car. We got third place . The GT350H was first and the Olds 442 vert second. I think the fact that one of the tail lights had a bad filament and was flickerign on and off and the XT spare in the trunk with YJ rally's on the car with beat up beauty rings hurt us [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] My XT's did not get shipped with the car due to a miscommunication and I did not have any show quality trim for the YJs.
Given those issues it says a lot that we got third place given the other cars in the class.

The 350H did not deserve 1st in my opinion. The one owner 65 tri-power GTO and the 66 Hemi Charger should have been on the podium. The COPO was a nicer car than the 350H. Just look at that trunk fit and finish on the passenger side... sticks up about 3/8". Nice car but it needed some tweaking for sure

The COPO represents the marque well, given the thoroughbreds in attendance.
I love GTO's... The Ferrari 288 GTO is my favorite... I drew one 20 years ago.
