Paul Newman’s Le Mans Porsche Coming to ‘Motor Classic’
Hollywood icon’s 10-car collection will be on display alongside over 350 collector cars at SoCal’s San Marino Motor Classic, June 10.
A collection of 10 cars raced by Hollywood legend Paul Newman will highlight the more than 350 classic and collector cars to be displayed at the eighth annual San Marino Motor Classic, Southern California’s premier Concours d’Elegance. The event will be held on June 10 at beautiful Lacy Park in San Marino.
Owned by television and podcast host Adam Carolla, the Newman race cars are being publicly displayed together for the first time and includes Newman’s Datsun and Nissan race cars and the famous Porsche 935 that he drove in the 1979 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
“We could not be more excited for this year’s San Marino Motor Classic at Lacy Park,” says Aaron Weiss, event chairman and co-founder. “This show not only attracts amazing cars but also a fantastic array of enthusiasts of all ages. It is truly a wonderful day in the park for the entire family.”
This year’s show will also feature a variety of collector cars ranging from “Brass and Nickel Era” models to American muscle cars, hot rods, rare exotics, European and Japanese classics and everything in between. A special “early Lamborghini sports car” display will highlight some of the Sant’Agata brand’s earliest and rarest sports cars, and will also include high-profile entries that have not been shown before.
Since its founding in 2010, the San Marino Motor Classic has raised more than $1.5 million for local charities. Proceeds from this year’s show will benefit the Pasadena Humane Society and the San Marino Rotary Charities.
The San Marino Motor Classic will be preceded by a special “Vintage Automobiles and their Music” gala on June 9 that will feature cars from every era gliding down an elevated runway, accompanied by music of their period and performed by the University of Southern California Trojan Marching Band.
