2008 GREENWICH CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE-VINTAGE CARS, BOATS AND PLANES

The thirteenth annual Greenwich Concours d' Elegance will be held on June 7th and June 8th at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich, Connecticut. Bruce and Genia Wennerstrom, who co-chair the event, plan to include a display of both vintage and contemporary power boats. "We'll have boats in the water and boattails on land," they said, referring to the classic automotive speedsters of the 1930s with rear ends shaped like the sharp prow of a boat.

Now acclaimed as one of the top events of its kind in the country, the Greenwich Concours helps benefit Americares, the international relief organization. The event also includes vintage motorcycles and aircraft.

Saturday's Concours d'Elegance will feature American automobiles from 1900 to present. Sunday's Concours Europa will feature European/import automobiles from 1900 to present. Many of the cars to be shown each day are rare, limited-production, or one-off vehicles. In addition, each day there are galleries of automotive art and memorabilia, a book alley, workshops and demonstrations, and fascinating exhibits of exciting new cars which, in the past years, have included Audi of America, Bentley, Aston Martin, Bugatti Maybach, Mercedes-Benz USA, Lincoln Division of Ford Motor Company, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, General Motors, Saab Cars USA, Daimler Chrysler Corp., Volvo Cars of North America, Jaguar Cars North America, Land Rover North America, Ferrari, Maserati North America, and Mini USA.
