Motorcycles Will Bring Noise, Bike Fans to Greenwich Concours
/
/
comments
The Greewich Concours isn’t all about cars. Every year some very very fine motorcycles make an appearance, and even though there are usually only about twenty of them, they tend to be as brilliantly chosen as the cars themselves. And often their values eclipse the cars that visitors drive to the show itself. Well, some…

SAABs Run the Show at Carlisle Imports 2013
/
/
comments
Just like last year, SAABs have completely dominated the Carlisle Import Nationals. In terms of plain numbers, SAABs led the way with 251 cars on the show field and 310 registered attendees, with Audi being a distant second with around a hundred cars. And then it was downhill from there, with every other marque gathering…

German Cars Bring the Awesome at Carlisle Imports 2013
/
/
comments
The Carlisle Import Nationals wouldn’t be the show that it is without the hundreds of German cars and car fans that make the trip to Pennsylvania every year, some coming from as far away as Canada. And this year the field certainly didn’t disappoint, as the numbers of Audi cars alone seemed to approach 200.…

Diecast Delights: GAZ 3110 in 1:43

comments
Remember the GAZ 3110? Of course you do, it’s the taxi that was hooned by Jason Bourne in the second installment of the Bourne trilogy. And thanks to that film, millions of people got to see what they thought was a Volvo 240 with a weird front fascia. Truth be told, the GAZ dates back…

Carlisle Imports 2013: The British Cars
/
/
comments
I have seen the 2013 Carlisle Import Nationals, and it was good. The turnout was excellent, the weather cooperated, and the cars were obscure. Just the way we like it. Let’s start our review with the British cars, because we’re doing this alphabetically and there were no Austrian or Australian cars at the show. The…

Greenwich Concours Preview: 1970 Lotus Elan +2 Coupe
/
/
comments
While I’m sure we’ve all seen Lotus Elan roadsters, when was the last time you saw an Elan coupe? It’s no secret that the Elan’s sales and reputation in America were based on its appeal as a fair weather roadster, so coming across this nicely preserved +2 Coupe was a bit of a surprise. Some…

Greenwich Concours Parking Lot is Basically Its Own Car Show
/
/
comments
A lot of classic car events claim to have a visitor parking lot filled with cars just as interesting as inside the show itself, but few events pull it off quite as deftly as the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance. The annual event, which takes place every June in Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich, Connecticut, brings…

Greenwich Concours Preview: 1974 De Tomaso Longchamp
/
/
comments
If you haven’t seen a De Tomaso Longchamp on the streets of your town lately, there is a very good reason for this. A grand total of 409 Longchamps were made during eighteen years of production, a number small enough to make ZiL’s limousine production facility go Pff, and the Rolls-Royce Camargue high tech assembly…

Foreign Cars of Rhinebeck Spring 2013

comments
Even though the Rhinebeck Spring Dust Off is known for its encyclopedic selection of rare American automobiles, starting with the brass era and into the 1980s, every year the event features some great foreign cars as well. Last time we took a look at some of the ridiculously awesome American cars that appeared at Rhinebeck…

Carlisle Import & Kit Nationals This Weekend

comments
The Carlisle Import Nationals are almost upon us, and if you haven’t ditched family plans in favor of sneaking off to southeastern Pennsylvania on the weekend of May 16th, now is the time to make up a story. No, let’s not use anything obviously made-up this time, like surgery for that sports injury from back…
