Welcome to The San Diego Excursion
The La Jolla Region of the Horseless Carriage Club of America is pleased to host the 3rd Annual San Diego Excursion.
The drive of vintage cars through the streets starting from the San Diego Automotive Museum to Point Loma is a display to the public to show the preservation for future generations.
The first two annual event in 2025 & 2026 turned out to be a joyous day for drivers and spectators and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday January 10, 2027.

General Info
You could look at this run as HCCA’s San Diego public outreach. We want the public to have a fun day celebrating an historic race and our lovely cars. In the past their enthusiasm has been our reward.
We labor as the custodians of these historical art pieces and it is a wonderful feeling to know that the public enjoys them so much.
There is no cost for this run.
All other costs associated are covered by our sponsors. Thank You !!

It is located on Hotel Circle North in Mission Valley and we have provided a map to the start of the run and again from the car show in Liberty Station back to your hotel. You can arrive Saturday afternoon and stay one night, check out the next morning but leave your truck and trailer in the hotel parking lot until you return that afternoon, following the run.
