It was the 10th annual Greenwich Concours d'Ele-gance (news article just written up here (http://www.greenwichtime.com/news/local/scn-gt-concours2jun05,0,2706762.story?coll=green-news-local-headlines)). My first time at this event, and it was very cool to see all these antique, classic, American/English/Italian hot rods and exotic cars all in one event. The weather definitely helped out too... nice and sunny, high in the 80's :thumbup:
First up are some true classic rides I hardly see on the roads nowadays :)
Here is a really rare 1940's Ford GT (post-WWII). Note that this is a right-hand drive vehicle, and the interior sits so low like that in an Acura NSX, but this definitely caught the attention of all American car lovers!
One of the many classic Maseratis at this event. I certainly noticed the difference between them and the classic Ferraris. The engines in the M's sound much quieter than those in the Ferraris.
The 1962 Bentley Continental Flying Spur certainly fits the definition of a classic, vintage automobile. I love how these vehicles have been kept clean and still original through all these years! :thumbup:
Mercedes-Benz was one of several luxury car brands that showcased their 2005 models. Here, we got to take a peek at the E55 AMG, SLK350, S350, CLS500, E320 4Matic, and the all-new R350 luxury SUV.
Here we go with the exotics! First up is the 1980's Aztec convertible. Never heard or read about this vehicle before, but it was so appealing shown by the unique design of the cockpit, the seating, doors, exterior, etc. An amazing head-turner, no question :eek2:
looks like thats the show you want to participate in... I gotta go to that when it comes back to florida. Too bad its in Jacksonville... oh well, time for a road trip! :woot:

I was at the show also last Sunday. It was def incredible seeing so many expensive and exotic cars all in 1 place. Even the parking lots were filled with a bunch of Ferraris and Porshes. :eek2: :eek2:
The best part of the show was hearing the sweet engines and exhausts of these cars. :thumbup:
Here are some pics of my fav cars there:
