Howard Cohen Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The Concours of America is more than just Sunday with beautiful cars and trucks and people. The weekend starts Friday morning when a large group heads out for a tour of area shops and private collections. Hagerty Insurance has a 'Ride&Drive' and I was able to take a 1965 Chrysler Imperial for a 20 minute drive. Saturday morning was a Cars&Coffee with hundreds of daily drivers and collectible cars. Inside was a display of artists that was outstanding! I was able to watch GM unload the famous Firebird Turbine Cars and show chassis...look at all the stuff it has! There were also some Porsche drivers as guest speakers. Sunday was the Concours and I started in the unloading lot before sunrise. When you go through the photographs, you will see some GM factory showcars/experimental cars including the CERV 1 & 2, Astro 2, the original Stingray, all of which were driven from the transporters to the show field, Yes they run The featured marques were Bugatti and Porsche..excellent! I arrived Thursday for the weekend so that I could take in as much as possible. Here is a link to my photographs from the weekend, enjoy https://public.fotki.com/howardcohen/concours-of-america-2018/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
