David Grega and Jenny Mattson Sponsor Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 30, 2010 -- Realtors David Grega and Jenny Mattson of Decker Bullock Sotheby’s International Realty today announced their sponsorship of the 2nd annual Marin Sonoma Concours d’Elegance that benefits Hospice by the Bay.

Having set the precedent as a world class show and successful fundraiser for Hospice By the Bay the previous year, the Marin Sonoma Concours d’Elegance returns for its second year to the Marin Center Fairgrounds on May 16, 2010. Porsche is the featured marque for this year’s event. The Concours name represents the pinnacle celebration of fine automobiles as does the Sotheby’s International Realty® name does for luxury real estate. Connoisseurs of fine cars tend to be connoisseurs of life and the fine homes that go with that lifestyle, and no one knows Marin’s luxury real estate market like David and Jenny.

PRE-SHOW DRIVE THROUGH MARIN MAY 15

David Grega will be driving in the pre-show drive. 150 classic and vintage cars will take to the open road in West Marin to celebrate the joy of the drive. The event will start in downtown Mill Valley at Piazza D’Angelo Ristorante on Miller Ave. at 8:00 a.m. Drivers will gather for pastries, coffee and instructions. The cars will take off at approximately 9:00 am and wind throughout West Marin stopping at Rockin’ H Ranch in Petaluma for lunch catered by Il Davide Restaurant. The Drive will end at Il Davide Restaurant in San Rafael for a wine and cheese reception. This additional fundraiser also benefits Hospice by the Bay.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EVENT MAY 16

The Marin Sonoma Concours d’Elegance will both showcase the classic cars of the past and preview a likely classic car of the future – the Lexus LFA will be on display – a new Lexus that claims to redefine the supercar for the 21st century. There is only one LFA currently in the US and this will be the last opportunity to view the Lexus supercar in the States this year. Base MSRP is $375,000.

Janis Joplin’s Porsche will be on display at the May 16 benefit for Hospice By The Bay. Janis Joplin was the lead singer in the ’60s rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company. The Porsche is on loan from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland OH. Porsche is the featured marque at this year’s show, making this rare opportunity to see the late rock icon’s car even more special.
