The California Mille is an annual historic and classic car tour run on public roads in California.
It is inspired by the Mille Miglia, a former Italian open-road endurance race covering some 1500 km (or roughly 1000 miles) from Brescia-to-Rome-to-Brescia and ran twenty-four times from 1927 to 1957. The event was founded by Martin Swig and Ken Shaff in 1991.[1] Collectible car insurance company Hagerty became the organizer in 2020.[2]
