2007 Concours Review
The Second Annual Concours d’Elegance of the San Juan Islands was held Saturday, August 25, 2007 at the San Juan Vineyards, 3136 Roche Harbor Road, Friday Harbor, Washington. This exciting show was organized by The Sports Car Club of the San Juan Islands.
This year’s event set a record for vehicles on display in its second year at the San Juan Vineyards. 71 cars and unique vehicles were staged and, as an example, the Ford contingent included an original ’66 Shelby 427 Cobra, two modern Ford GTs, a ’65 Shelby 350 GT, ’55 and ’66 T-Birds, ’40 Ford Woodie, and a ’15 Model T. Spectator attendance, estimated to be in the hundreds by the level of very generous gate donations, was record setting as well.

The net proceeds donated to the Inter Island Healthcare Foundation were more than $8,000. This amount, plus prior additional funds already in the queue from the private sector and foundations completed the purchase of the Inter Island Medical Center’s X-ray Digitizer. We are happy to announce that the event’s benefit goal has been achieved again this year.
The Sports Car Club of the San Juan Islands, the Inter Island Healthcare Foundation and the Inter Island Medical Center are indebted to a host of individuals and businesses that have made this year’s event successful. To note a few among many others, our special thanks go to Yvonne Swanberg of the San Juan Vineyards, Marian Ford Webber of King Printing and Design, Gary Mathews the Roche Harbor artist, the Medical Center Guild, Barrier Porsche of Bellevue and Griot’s Garage.

2006 Concours Review
The First Concours d’Elegance of the San Juan Islands was held Saturday, September 16, 2006 at the San Juan Vineyards, 3136 Roche Harbor Road, Friday Harbor, Washington.
More than 50 cars were exhibited including many notable entries: A rare 2004 Porsche Carrera GT; this car represents engineering’s finest in road cars for Porsche. Only 1500 were built worldwide, sold for about $440,000 each, and were the fastest legal road car in the US at the time. And, of course, no car show would be complete without the Ford Model T, the real beginning of mass production automobiles in the US. Two outstanding examples were shown, a stunning yellow 1914 Model T Speedster, and a perfect black 1915 Model T.
Three awards voted by the entrants and the public were presented as well as three choices by the Organizer.
Entrant and Spectator Voting:
- Most Unique: 1948 Rolls Royce Hearse
- Want To Drive It Home: 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe
- Best of Show: 1939 Packard V12 Limousine
Organizer’s Choice:
- Most Historically Significant: 1939 Packard V12 Limousine
- Best Preserved in Original Form: 1976 Corvette Indy Pace Car
- Best of Show: 1940 Ford Woodie
The Concours d’Elegance proceeds went to benefit the Inter Island Medical Center through the Inter Island Healthcare Foundation*, and the San Juan Island Family Resource Center*. The three events (Concours, Auction, and Dinner) raised more than $52,000 for these two charities. * IRS 501(c)3 organizations allowing tax exempt contributions.
