Such may have been the case when the Hemmings Motor News Concours d’Elegance took place over the last weekend in September this fall. For the second year, Hemmings teamed with the Saratoga Auto Museum in Saratoga Springs, New York, to put on the event, which was presented on the picturesque lawns of the Saratoga Spa State Park, adjacent to the museum. The setting for the main event, Sunday’s concours, is a sunken lawn surrounding a reflecting pool in the midst of the park’s historic spa buildings, an appropriate stage to display some of motoring’s finest moments. This particular weekend was flush with clear, sunny skies, warm climes and a splash of early fall color to highlight the still lush lawns. For Sunday’s concours, all participating vehicles are individually selected and invited by our 52 HEMMINGS MOTOR NEWS • DECEMBER 2013 Presenting Sponsor Sponsor Associate Sponsor Pavilion Sponsor staff in the months leading up to the date, and this time out we were rewarded with an unusually high response rate that yielded a full field of nearly 160 cars. In addition to our regular groupings of vehicles, there were featured classes highlighting Jaguar E-type, Chrysler Street Hemi cars, 1966-1971, BMW cars and motorcycles, pre-1977, Corvettes of 1953-1973, Early Ford V-8s, 1932-1942, American Fiberglass Specials of the Fifties, and a special grouping of cars from the Class of 1958. After enjoying a road tour on Friday, an open cruise-in car show on Saturday and Saturday evening’s dinner, featuring keynote speaker Sam Posey, who was also presented with the Lee Iacocca Award, Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance was the icing on the cake. We’ve already begun planning for next year’s event, so watch hemmings.com for updates.
