The 5:30am tour is the point of the whole weekend. You walk the 18th fairway in the marine layer while the cars are wheeled into place. Free with a Sunday ticket. Non-negotiable.

Pre-War Preservation. Every year. These are the cars that never got restored — original paint, original leather, seventy-year-old dust in the wheel wells. Meet the owners. They love talking about them.
