The Cars

Classic, Rare, & Magnificent Vehicles

Cars & Cowboys is proud to present an unparalleled collection of rare and extraordinary vehicles, showcased in a breathtaking new location—Rancho San Marcos, nestled in the beautiful mountains above Lake Cachuma.

This is not your average car show. These aren’t the vehicles you’ve seen around town. This is a curated gathering of the rare, the unique. The cars with a story. Many of these automobiles are seldom displayed publicly. For one day only, a few of the most extraordinary private collections in the world will be opened to the public eye.

A selection of last year's lineup of stunning vehicles

1967 Lamborghini Miura P400

A design icon and the world’s first supercar, this Miura made its public debut at the 1968 New York International Auto Show, where it was photographed and featured in both a magazine and a documentary film. Today, it remains in exquisite condition and stands as a symbol of Lamborghini’s trailblazing legacy.

Maserati 3500 GTi

A beautifully preserved example of Maserati’s first production grand tourer, this elegant machine pairs Italian craftsmanship with timeless design.

The “Platypus” – Custom 1947 Coupe

A true one-of-a-kind, the Platypus began its life as a 1947 Republic Seabee airplane before being transformed into a silver, hand-built coupe with a story as captivating as its design. Blending aviation history with custom automotive artistry, this vehicle is unlike anything else on the road or runway.

1958 Race Scarab

One of the finest American-built race cars of the post-war era, this A-grade collectible includes an SVRA race log and a rare disc brake upgrade, a distinction beyond the original three cars produced. Painted in striking blue, the Scarab boasts both performance pedigree and collector prestige.

1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom Shooting Brake

An elegant and imposing example of early coach-built luxury, this Phantom Shooting Brake blends pre-war British refinement with sporting utility. With its stately lines and handcrafted details, it’s a rare glimpse into a bygone era of automotive grandeur.

Join us for an unforgettable day celebrating automotive excellence, history, and craftsmanship, all set against the stunning backdrop of California’s scenic Central Coast.
