Continued family ownership and management, even now that founders Bruce and Genia Wennerstrom have passed away, has kept the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance at the very top of the east coast’s show circuit. The format of year’s concours, the first with the younger generation of Wennerstroms at the helm, will be the same as it has in the past.
With a number of major events scheduled for the coming month – the Monaco auctions, Pennsylvania Ferrari Concours, and Greenwich Concours, to name a few – this weekend is a perfect opportunity to take the edge off your automotive anticipation.
A move back to Connecticut preceded my furthest relocation at the time, 2,824 miles to Southern California where I currently hang my hat when not bouncing around the world for work. That work most recently led me to establish a part-time residence in Northern Italy, and had me reflecting on the cars I’ve owned and how my place of residence may have influenced my choices.
The Scottsdale and Amelia auctions have piqued your interest in adding to your car collection, but what if you need to sell one of your current cars to make the new acquisition possible? Vintage, classic, and exotic cars which are owned as investments or for use in a trade or business are eligible for tax deferral through a 1031 exchange.
La Jolla is Spanish for “The Jewel,” an apt name for some of the most breathtaking beaches in California and a similarly stand out Concours d’Elegance. A world-class event, this concours offers over 300 pristine and historically valuable vehicles judged by a panel of experts, many of whom have judged at Pebble Beach in the past.
This weekend’s 12th annual St. Petersburg car show is one of the four Festivals of Speed that Florida plays host to every year. Hundreds of exotics and homegrown performance machines garner the attention of over 15,000 attendees, making any FOS display worth a trip.
This is the perfect weekend to take advantage of the meek March temperatures and brush up on all things automotive. While there’s a lull in major car events as many are still sleeping off Amelia or gearing up for the New York Auto Show, there are still local opportunities to get that weekly injection of petrol.
The Diablo’s design was more elegant than the Countach, which had become festooned with all manner of body add-ons, including a rear wing that looked like a Boeing 727’s horizontal stabilizer. Like the Countach before it, the Diablo also grew a young fan base and became a poster car in many boys’ bedrooms.
With winter drawing to a close, time has come to take that car out of the garage – or just revel in the season of chrome and convertibles. Not going to Amelia? No problem, here are some great events for getting your automotive fix this weekend.
