The elegance of world-class automobiles comes home October 16-17 with the Del Mar Concours d’Elegance. Like a handcrafted art gallery opening, only the most rare antique and classic cars are invited to display for judging, ensuring the best of the best. The event benefits Susan G. Komen For The Cure San Diego with a lavish charity dinner on Saturday (the concours itself is on Sunday). The cars will be displayed inside the historic Del Mar Racetrack Paddock in a lush setting. The public is welcome. Advance tickets are available online or day of show. (858/356-9656, www.delmarconcours.com)
