"Healey competes in Beverly Hills!"

An Austin Healey 100 "dealer M" will be on the lawn at the first annual Greystone Mansion Concours D'Elegance in Beverly Hills this April. Restored nearly 20 years ago, the current owner's entire family is involved in this first ever concours staged at the mansion. It was the son who convinced his father to bid on the Healey at a Gooding auction where he works just about a year ago... then Mom was convinced to add vintage cars to the designer showcase she runs for Beverly Hills at Greystone.

The display of vehicles will be on Sunday, April 11th from 10am-4pm and will feature cars from the same years that the Doheny family lived in the historic mansion (1927-1955). Built on 12 acres, the mansion boasts over 46,000 square feet and cost over three million to build. Prior to the city of Beverly Hills dedicating the property as a park in 1971, the American Film Institute rented the mansion for $1.00 per year in exchange for repairs.

Tickets to the concours will also include addmission to the Petersen Museum, fashion shows, mansion tours, music, food, historical exhibits with a special display of vehicles by Gooding & Company at the estate's stables. For more information visit the website at Greystone Concours.

The Austin Healey 100 will be one of the more "modern" cars at the concours, which will display cars built from 1927 thru 1955.
