On October 6, 2024, car enthusiasts and casual admirers alike will gather for a day of elegance and automotive excellence at the Niello Concours at Serrano. Hosted at the picturesque Serrano Visitor’s Center in El Dorado Hills, California, this event promises a spectacular showcase of over 200 meticulously maintained classic cars, all vying for top honors.
The Niello Concours, a brainchild of Michele and Brian Moore, has grown exponentially since its inception in 2003. Michele and Brian, seasoned veterans of the car show circuit and owners of a car restoration business, envisioned a Concours-style event that could rival those in more traditional locations. After years of planning and networking, they found the perfect venue at Serrano.
“We always wanted to see a Concours-style car show here in the area,” Michele Moore explains. “When the last Raley’s Gold Rush Days was held at Serrano, Brian and I decided that Serrano would be a great venue for a Concours-style car show. The hardest part was convincing folks, especially from the Bay Area, to bring their cars out here to El Dorado Hills.”
The perseverance paid off. The initial event was a resounding success, drawing impressive crowds and securing a key sponsor in the Niello Auto Group. “The weather was perfect, and we had a great turnout,” says Michele. “From that point on, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship with Niello.”
For attendees, the day promises more than just a visual feast of classic cars. The event, open to the public from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offers a delightful experience with free parking, accessible accommodations, and a range of activities. Visitors are encouraged to dress in resort casual attire, perfect for strolling the green, with the added advice to layer up as temperatures can vary throughout the day.
While the event celebrates automotive beauty, it also fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among car lovers. With live music, gourmet food vendors, and an elegant atmosphere, the Niello Concours at Serrano is more than a car show – it’s a celebration of style, history, and passion.
For those looking to enter their motorcar in the event or seeking accommodation details, further information is available on the Niello Concours website. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to witness automotive history and elegance at its finest.
