Besides the varied cars shown, one other concept of the Concours D’ Elegance that sets it apart from other car shows is that each car is there by special invitation of the organizers. If someone has a car they would like to enter in the Concours, they must apply for an invitation and with the application they must also provide pictures and interesting or historical facts about the car.
Concours D’ Elegance is French for “competition of elegance.” The cars on display more than live up to the name. They are more than just cars in mint condition. Many are in better condition than when they came off the assembly line. The upholstery, paint, and the engine restoration are just a few of the components that make some of these cars better than mint.
Other locales that have competitions are Denver, New York in midtown Manhattan and Hilton Head, SC.
