7 Reasons to Visit Greenwich Concours This Weekend
The Northeast's top concours event returns with two days of classic cars.
For over a quarter century Greenwich Concours has welcomed car enthusiasts from all over the northeast, and cars from the top collections in the region to its seaside venue, with Sunday's famous supercar extravaganza drawing plenty of crowds.
For 2023, after a couple years of experimentation including Radwood and Concours d'Lemons during last year's Saturday event, Greenwich is back to a two-day schedule with Concours de Sport on Saturday and Concours d'Elegance on Sunday. This schedule effectively replaces the classic Concours Americana and Europa weekend of years past, with new owner Hagerty steering the event to a more familiar classic car lineup.
"The picturesque Greenwich harbor set the stage and we were thrilled to host, engage and entertain so many car lovers this past weekend," Matt Orendac, vice chairman, Concours Group, Hagerty said last year.
The 2022 edition saw 140 cars in 18 classes on the grounds of Roger Sherman Baldwin Park on Sunday, with a Vignale-bodied 1948 Packard Convertible Victoria taking him the Best in Show award. In fact, Vignale was one of the featured classes last year, so car enthusiasts got to see a number of classics from this Italian carrozzeria.
But if mid-century Italian cars weren't your cup of intensely strong espresso, there were plenty of other fascinating classics to gawk at during Sunday's event.
Here are seven of our favorites from 2022.
Jay Ramey grew up around very strange European cars, and instead of seeking out something reliable and comfortable for his own personal use he has been drawn to the more adventurous side of the dependability spectrum. Despite being followed around by French cars for the past decade, he has somehow been able to avoid Citroën ownership, judging them too commonplace, and is currently looking at cars from the former Czechoslovakia. Jay has been with Autoweek since 2013.
