Meadowbrook Concours d'EleganceThree U.S. classic car shows have achieved international stature, and one of them is right in Detroit's backyard. Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance expands this year to a weeklong celebration of the Golden Age of the Automobile, combining classic vehicles with historic venues, high fashion, exceptional food and great fun.
The 26th Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance on Sunday, August 1 will feature more than 280 of the world's most prized classic and antique automobiles on display and being judged on the magnificent grounds of Meadow Brook Hall at Oakland University in Rochester. Featured vehicles include the "Seabiscuit Buick," a 1932 Buick Murphy Town Car purchased by C.S. Howard, the owner of the famous racehorse, as a gift for his daughter in-law, Anita.
Other special vehicles will include the Shah of Persia's 1939 Bugatti Roadster; a 1931 Marmon V-16 Town Car owned by Clive Cussler, author of the "Dirk Pitt" detective series novels; and cars by famous Italian designer Giotto Bizzarrini. Other rare and exotic Italian cars will also be on display on the west lawn at Meadow Brook during the Concorso d'Italia on Saturday, July 31.
A first-of-its-kind co-sponsorship by Daimler-Chrysler, Ford Motor Company and General Motors reflects the prestige and excellence of Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance.
