“This was our most successful year,” says Aaron Weiss, chairman and co-founder of the event. “We’re really happy to have the community support to produce a show of this level. It was great to see so many car enthusiasts young and old. We could have not done this without the support of dedicated volunteers, sponsors, entrants and hosts.”

Numbers are still being tallied for proceeds raised for the three benefiting charities – the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA, Petersen Automotive Museum and the Rotary Club of San Marino. Next year’s show is set for Sunday, June 8, 2014.For the full list of winners, visit www.sanmarinomotorclassic.com.
