On July 25, a large crowd of car enthusiasts and community supporters gathered at Bunnin Chevrolet Cadillac for a cocktail party to kick off the Montecito Motor Classic, which will be held September 23 along Coast Village Road.

Guests checked out an impressive array of classic vehicles on display outside the showroom and mingled inside in the air-conditioned comfort of the spacious showroom.

In its seventh year, the Montecito Motor Classic features a large selection of rare and distinguished vehicles. While admission is free, sponsorships, vehicle entry fees and a launch party auction raise funds for the Santa Barbara Police Activities League (PAL) and the Santa Barbara Police Foundation (SBPF). Last year, there were 140 entries and the event raised about $70,000 for these two organizations.
