A real-life Batmobileshared the spotlight with some of the world’s rarest and most expensive supercars Sunday as Rodeo Drive transformed into a luxury vehicle lover’s paradise for the annual Concours d’Elegance in Beverly Hills.
The free Father’s Day tradition returned for its 31st year, bringing an eclectic collection of hypercars, vintage classics and coach-built icons to one of the world’s most famous shopping streets.
This year’s event, organized with the City of Beverly Hills and the Rodeo Drive Committee, celebrates America’s upcoming 250th anniversary and also marks 50 years of Rodeo Drive.
Presented by O’Gara Coach Beverly Hills, the 2026 Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance showcases an array of rare and exotic vehicles from around the globe.
The show also celebrates 100 years of historic Route 66 and its ongoing impact on American car culture.
A fiery red Corvette Stingray, a masterpiece of engineering, turned heads as it cruised the boulevard. A pristine beige Rolls-Royce brought a sense of timeless nostalgia, while the classic red Ferrari and token yellow Porsche made their expected appearances. But the real star was the Batmobile itself, shining in black and loaded with every gadget a superhero might need.
“The Concours d’Elegance is an annual tradition our community looks forward to every year,” Beverly Hills Mayor Craig A. Corman said.
“Aside from being a rare opportunity to see so many classic and modern ‘trophy’ cars lined up side-by-side on Rodeo Drive, it brings both residents and visitors together to experience the energy our city creates for all to enjoy.”
The annual showcase has become one of Southern California’s premier automotive events, drawing collectors, enthusiasts and families who want an up-close look at some of the most exclusive vehicles ever built.
“America celebrates 250 years of history, innovation and enduring spirit, and this year’s Rodeo Drive Concours carries a special significance as a celebration of the passion, craftsmanship and ingenuity that have long defined our nation’s love for the automobile,” Rodeo Drive Concours Chairman Bruce Meyer said.
“We are always proud to welcome families, collectors and enthusiasts from around the world, but especially this year, as we celebrate this iconic Father’s Day tradition during such a historic moment for our country.”
Organizers said the event features everything from the latest hypercars to classic automotive icons, making it a moving tribute to both luxury cars and America’s car history.
“As Rodeo Drive celebrates its 50th anniversary, this year’s Concours d’Elegance is especially meaningful because it honors the enduring connection between luxury, style and automotive culture that has defined the street for decades, from the craftsmanship and innovation of the finest automobiles ever made, to the passion and community they inspire,” Rodeo Drive Committee President Kathy Gohari said.
“We’re excited to welcome everyone to experience this iconic celebration on Father’s Day during such a landmark year for Rodeo Drive.”
In addition to the rows of high-end machinery parked along Rodeo Drive, attendees can explore interactive exhibits, enjoy gourmet food trucks and take part in family-friendly attractions.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Beverly Hills Police Foundation and the Beverly Hills Fire Chief’s Fund, which support first responders and their families.
