It wouldn't be a Southern California Concours d'Elegance unless Aaron and Valerie Weiss went home with some major award. Here, event Chairman Dick Waitneight hands over the Chairman's Classic Car Award to the pair for their 1931 Marmon 145 LeBaron Convertible.

Next year's 30th anniversary event is scheduled for June 2012, with full details to be posted on the event's website. Two collections of event photos are posted on the Automotive Traveler Fotki Image Gallery. The first is a set of portraits of each concours entry as it entered the show field. A second album contains event and award photos.
