FREECars that could have qualified for Italy’s thousand mile event that ran from 1927-1957, will arrive at San Francisco’s Nob Hill from a dozen states and two foreign countries on Sunday, April 24. The public is invited to see the cars and meet the drivers from 11 am to 6 pm on Mason between California and Sacramento streets.
Co-directors David and Howard Swig will host a special presentation beginning at 1:30 pm on Sunday, recalling how their father Martin Swig introduced the Mille to America after noting that “Northern California looks more like Italy than…Italy.”
The Mille salutes Italy’s most-famous open-road race, The Mille Miglia (thousand mile), that ran from 1927-1957.
