2024 San Marino Motor Classic Photo Gallery
For 13 years the San Marino Motor Classic has been something of a Pebble Beach South. Four years ago it switched its date to the weekend directly after Pebble. That resulted in over a dozen cars from the 18th fairway making their way south to suburban Los Angeles for what has grown into a fine and fun concours. That doesn't mean they were all coachbuilt classics—there were muscle cars, Porsches, little English and Italian sports cars, and a few Brass Era cars as well. Here are our favorites from this year's show.
