We are once again working to support the 22nd Concours d Elegance of the Eastern United States by bringing cars into the Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia for this years’ International Philadelphia Auto Show that will be held from January 28 through February 5.

We are excited as this is to be our first year in the "new" convention center. It's our understanding that the Eastern Concours d Elegance exhibit will be on the main floor with all the major manufacturers.

The Elegance at Hershey was bracketed by summer rainstorms, but between them was a spectacular event that every car guy and gal should attend.

Incredible Cars. Big crowds. Spectacular weather.

That pretty much sums up the 16th Annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, held March 11-13 this year. Now in its second decade, the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance is among the top automotive events in the world.

Always held the second full weekend in March, "Amelia' drew a record 280 rare vehicles from collections around the world to The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach and The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island for a celebration of the automobile like no other. More than 20,000 people attended Sunday's show.

This was my fifth trip to Amelia since we were invited in 2003 to show my Vignale-bodied 1961 Italia 2000, and my third in a row. I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Amelia" is the best Concours on the East Coast, bar none. What makes it special, above all, is the quality of the collector vehicles that are on display. With connections all over the country and in Europe, show Chairman Bill Warner and crew attract a diverse collection, from brass up to modern super cars on display.

The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) Councils announced July 13, 2012 as "Collector Car Appreciation Day." The date marks the third commemoration in what will become an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. SEMA and its councils are now working to secure a Congressional resolution to recognize the day's significance.
