The 15th annual Ironstone Concours d'Elegance was held September 25, 2010 at the Ironstone Winery south of Murphy's California in the Sierra foothills/gold country.

Entries included a broad selection of the beautiful and elegant high-performance automobiles known as Chrysler 300's plus the usual array of over 300 Pierce- Arrows, Packards, Lincolns, Cadillacs, T-Birds, Corvettes, Rolls Royces, Model T's and A's, flatty Fords, English sporty cars, Hudsons, Woodys, Porsches, Mercedes Benz' & etc. The Chrysler 300's drew admiring crowds of knowledgeable, sophisticated and appreciative car aficionados all day long. The cars were judged on their intrinsic elegance rather than their degree of perfection.

Chrysler 300's were featured as a special marque for the show, were placed in a class with Cadillac Eldorados and swept all three awards in the class.

Six of the Chryslers belonged to California members of both Chrysler 300 Clubs with the seventh car belonging to a former member of the Chrysler 300 Club, Inc.

1956 Windsor/300B Clone Convertible-Henry Hopkins-Best in Class







1957 300C Coupe-Jerry “Hemi” & Ruthi Heminger
