While enjoying the concert in Ston, visitors will be able to admire a nostalgic collection of vehicles—from vintage Citroën 2CVs, VW Beetles, Zastava Fićas, and Renault 4s, to high-performance machines like the Ferrari 348 and Porsche 911, all the way to the exclusive Mercedes 600. This was the most luxurious model of the 1960s, chosen not only by numerous statesmen, monarchs, and dictators, but also by celebrities such as Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Coco Chanel, and Jack Nicholson.

The Rally is supported by the Municipalities of Ston and Dubrovnik Primorje, the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the Putniković Agricultural Cooperative, Ston Saltworks, and Libertas Dubrovnik.
The rally takes place on public roads, in accordance with traffic regulations, with increased engagement from the Ston Police Department, and will not disrupt regular traffic flow.
