The Dana Point Concours d' Elegance® celebrated its 30th anniversary on June 24, 2012, on the St. Regis Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point, California. The Dana Point Concours d'Elegance® celebrated this tremendous milestone with the theme, "Legends of Le Mans: Racing in the '60s," and featured original racecars from the era such as the first Corvette to ever compete at Le Mans, a 1961 Ferrari 250 SWB that won its class at Le Mans, and the first production Cobra ever built. The team also honored 50 years of Shelby American with a special Shelby Cars class.
