The 8th Annual Winter Park Concours d’Elegance
Posted by Steve White on Nov 06, 2009
The Winter Park Concours d’Elegance has grown in reputation in recent years to become one of the most-anticipated automobile shows on the east coast. It is a two-day event that begins on the 7th of November, and it will be held in Winter Park, Florida. Last November, the event drew more than 40,000 auto enthusiasts from all over the country.
The 8th edition of the Winter Park Concours d’Elegance will feature more than 120 prestigious classic cars and modern automobiles. Six blocks of Park Avenue in Winter Park will be closed to create space for the competition, and the cars will be judged by a group of judges who are renowned experts in specific categories of automobiles. Visitors can expect a line-up of cars that is comparable in quality and variety as those that are featured in world-class concours events in Pebble Beach, California and Amelia Island, Florida.
The concours d’elegance will be held from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm, with the awards presentation ceremony taking place at 3.30 pm. Patrons of the event will be setting up tents along the tree-lined avenue to showcase their products and services to potential buyers. Proceeds from the 2009 Winter Park Concours d’Elegance will benefit the Winter Park Community Center as well as the Orlando Ballet.
