In The New York Tri-State Area This Weekend? Looking For SERIOUS Metal? Pack Your Bags For Greenwich!
Once and a while when I am trolling automotive forums in the regional space I'll see a thread along the lines of "Hey! I am traveling to New York. Where can I see AWESOME cars?"

If that's the case and you'll be in the area this weekend, there's no question there's only ONE place you should be. That, my friends, would be the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, which is held in — predictably — Greenwich, CT.

This is the type of place where you'll see a slew of some of the rarest cars on earth. Zagato Aston Martins, the Ferrari 250 GT California and I am sure a vintage Bugatti plus a new one should appear.

Tomorrow is the first day and will be specifically for domestic autos. Sunday is for imports, which is when I'll be on hand.

Personally, I am crossing my fingers for a Lamborghini Miura.

For MORE information, check out the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance website. Tickets are $30 for one day attendance and $45 for two days attendance.

The concours is split into two days, with American cars on the field on Saturday and foreign cars on Sunday, with about 125 vehicles shown each day...

The cars from 40-60's have real character and personality. Their design and style are unbeatable. At that time the automobile engineering was real industrial art.
I wish back to the time of sixties.

I hear you but those cars were pretty awful in terms of mechanics.

Cars have evolved and in a better way, I believe.
