Unique Maharaja Cars at Concourse D'Elegance

These are two of the most unique Maharaja cars on Display this year. The swans head on each vehicle moved to the right and left. The front vehicle is about the size of a golf Cart and is electric. The larger Swan vehicle's body is carved out of wood and very beautiful and ornate. The swans spits (likely water from the radiator. And out of the back comes out what looks a lot like swan poop but even after they cleaned it up with towels the ladies who present the awards kept slipping on whatever remained. So, I don't know what the artificial swan poop was made of. But, you must admit these are two very unique entries in the Maharaja collection of cars.

There also were raffles for a new Infiniti car, a Mini Cooper and a ladies Rolex Watch (all combined worth about 200,000 dollars. The total amount given to charity from this event so far is over 1 million dollars.

Jay Leno asked people to donate 2000 dollars each to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and enough people walked up donating 2000 each and I think the end total was somewhere between 54 and 70 thousand because people kept walking up and meeting Jay Leno and donating 2000 each. Also, even after he stopped speaking about it people were still going over and donating.
Here is a shot of some of the vehicles and more of the crowds there.
