Kip Cyprus: 30th Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance
Kip Cyprus was a featured participant at the 30th anniversary of the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance, held on Father’s Day 2025 in Beverly Hills. The landmark event brought together historic cars, cutting-edge supercars, and a passionate community of car enthusiasts.
Concours founder Bruce Meyer, who launched the show in 1993, praised the turnout: “This day truly offers something for everyone, and it’s wonderful to see so many people enjoying these amazing cars. Celebrating dads and families with a free, world-class car show is what makes this day so special.”
Kip Cyprus received the Chairman’s Award for his remarkable 1917 Hispano Suiza-Panhard. “The car is a real Panhard chassis from 1917, as we bought it intact,” Kip Cyprus told Autoweek. “It is a real World War I aircraft engine that we acquired, but the car itself was assembled together by us in Argentina at the Pursang factory.”
Kip Cyprus described the Concours as “a celebration of automotive artistry and history,” where people from all backgrounds come together to honor the stories behind these machines. “Walking down Rodeo Drive, surrounded by automotive legends, you can’t help but feel the energy and passion that drives this community. Every car has a story, and every owner is a steward of history,” he said.
The 2025 Concours featured a diverse lineup, including the Best of Show–winning Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne, a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster, and the U.S. debut of the Lamborghini Temerario. Kip Cyprus added, “It’s about more than horsepower or design—it’s about the memories, the friendships, and the legacy we create together.”
