The Beverly Hills City Council on May 4 unanimously approved the proposed June 20 Tour d’Elegance, an updated version of the annual Concours d’Elegance Father’s Day car show on Rodeo Drive. Cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, the popular event returns for its 27th year as a touring rally to accommodate public health and social distancing guidelines. The event will support local first responders, benefitting both the Beverly Hills Police Association and the Beverly Hills Fire Association.
Mayor Robert Wunderlich said he is looking forward to the event–and not just because as mayor, he gets to ride in one of the cars. More importantly, he said, the rally provides an opportunity to bring back a “wildly popular” event in a responsible fashion. “This is a way for us to enjoy the event, enjoy the cars, but do it in a way that makes sense and is safe as we emerge from the pandemic,” he told the Courier.
