So work charged me with the dauting task of going to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance this weekend up in Greenwich, CT...(such a tough job, I know....)...and I snapped a few pics. It's a two day event...the first day has all American Classic cars, from pre-war vehicles all the way up to today, and Sunday had import classic vehicles. Both days also had vendor booths from Cadillac, MB AMG, Lexus (there was no LF-A to my suprise), and a couple other local car places with modern exotics. Bonhams was also there, auctioning off classic vehicles. I was only there saturday, so here's the American classics and some exotics to enjoy!

I saw some affordable cars in those pictures. Perhaps not in concours condition but nice looking and driveable.

I love events like this, and counting up the makes/models Ive driven or ridden in. Of course that makes me feel old at the same time...

I'll take the '57 C1 Corvette racer, the Miura, and the Maserati Grancabrio. Drop them off anytime after about 7pm.

I was worried about you for a second. In the first set of pics, I saw the ZR-1 and the Ford GT in the background. I thought you were going to leave them out! Where is Jesda? He should be in here drooling over those lame Deloreans. Looks like there were a lot more cool cars than when I went to the Concours on Amelia Island a few years back.
