2023 Detroit Concours - American Pre-War and European Pre-War
Sep 26, 2023 17:45:38 #
@KTJohnson asked for some images from the 2023 Detroit Concours.
This event is the current version of the "Concours of America", held annually at Meadowbrook Hall for over 30 years until it was moved to the Inn at St John's in Plymouth, MI in 2011. Last year, following the acquisition of the event by Hagerty (the collector car insurance company), the event was moved to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA).
Hagerty's DIA version is a much smaller show, with approximately 150 vehicles on display instead of the typical 300 exhibits at previous events.
This first group includes the America Pre-War and European Pre-War classes. (Pre-War means Pre-WWII)

It was a perfect weather day!
Very nice event, even with fewer eye-popping cars than prior years.

Nice work. Great array of cars. In prior days, I went up to the Meadowbrook show several times. When it moved, I quit going.

Many of the cars presented were from McKeel Hagerty's private collection. The man has very good taste in motor vehicles.
