Something to think about attending. Glen, this is a good one for you.

This is a pretty high brow event. But a group of us participated in the Corral a few years ago and it was pretty fun. You need to register in advance. I unfortuately can't participate this year.

Cut and paste key part from email I received a couple weeks ago:

The 2013 Desert Classic Concours will be held at the Desert Princess Country Club and the Doral Desert Princess Resort in Palm Springs, Ca. on February 24, 2013. Please bring your car to the corral; you can enter on the website at www.desertconcours.com.

Do they give out dash plaques?

 

I'd only go if the dash plaques are gold plated.

Wait what's a dash plaque?

 

You get a Car Club Corral Parking Pass for you dash. This is more for the prestige of putting your car in rather extraordinary company such as a Bugatti Veyron.

Here is a picture of something I put together myself to hang in my office that commemorates my participation in this event a few years ago. Apologies that you have to lay on your side to see it properly.

 

So the Car Club Corral is basically VIP parking / sideshow area for those who make the effort?

The date is difficult (I'm out of town much of hte previous week on business) But I'm considering it.
