Greenwich Concours d'Elegance 2017

About the Event

The 2017 Concours Americana featured a display of Custom Cars and Hot Rods. A special presentation discussing the concept and creation of these vehicles by Velocity Channel’s Chasing Classic Cars host Wayne Carini, Custom Car builders Rob Ida and Rick Dore, along with historian Ken Gross, drew a large crowd. Best in Show Americana went to Al and Sandra San Clemente and their 1935 Packard Dietrich Dual-Cowl Phaeton. The restoration of the car they’d owned for 50 years had just been completed the night before. The People’s Choice Award American went to the 1931 Cadillac 452A All-Weather Phaeton owned by Charles B. Gillett.

Vintage Bugattis ruled at Sunday’s Concours International, with more than 20 of these machines lining the waterfront. A 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Atalante, which had sat idle in a garage for 45 years before it was restored and shown by a private collector, took home the trophy for Best in Show International. The People’s Choice International Award was awarded to the 1937 Delahaye 135M Competition Short Wheel Base Roadster of Myron Schuster.
