Concours d’Elegance of America: Auctions and Tigers
.
Yahoo Online :
Detroit knows how to do car shows. Perhaps no area in the country outside of Pebble Beach can put on a multiday, multievent festival of sheetmetal in the manner in which the Motor City can. It's intrinsic, at times it's altruistic-but it's always about the cars.
Detroit actually does it several times a year, with the major international auto show, followed by a hot-rod show, Autorama, in the winter. In the summer, it's the nationally renown Woodward Dream Cruise, and of course the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance. But this year, Meadow Brook has a new name and a new venue.
It's now the Concours d'Elegance of America at St. John's, and this weekend the same impressive vintage-car show is expanded and relocated to the other side of town.
If you're not from Detroit, swapping out one lush green stetting for another might not mean much to you.
