Some 70 vintage vehicles that could have qualified for the Mille Miglia, Italy’s most-famous open-road race, will motor to San Francisco’s Nob Hill on April 15, 2018 for a free car show and preview of the 28th annual California Mille.

Ancient Alfa Romeos, pristine Porsches and magnificent Mercedes-Benz will take their places next to Jaguars, Ferraris, Bentleys and other classics on Mason Street, closed to traffic between Sacramento and California Streets.

The public is invited to see the cars and meet the drivers between 11 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

At 1:30 Sunday afternoon California Mille co-directors David and Howard Swig will greet the fans.

On Monday morning, April 16 we will wave the Italian flag  and officially starting the four-day, one thousand mile tour (not a race) of northern California time capsule towns and little-known backroads.
