On Sunday, June 7, 2026, serious automotive aficionados and motoring enthusiasts will converge on the lawns of Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, Colorado, for the 43rd running of the Colorado Concours d’Elegance & Exotic Car Show.

Gearheads and collectors get a front-row look at over 300 rare, exotic, and classic cars, many trailer queens that rarely see daylight outside concours fields. Gates swing open at 9:00 AM, giving you hours to pore over numbers-matching engines, documented provenance, and frame-off restorations.

This is prime hunting ground for car collectors eyeing additions to their garages—pristine pre-war brass, postwar icons, and supercar survivors all laid out for close inspection. Check the official site for updates: Colorado Concours d’Elegance & Exotic Car Show.

FEATURED CARS

The 2026 spotlight falls on pre-World War II classics, where collectors hunt concours-ready survivors with ironclad lineage. Expect numbers-matching gems like the 1929 Packard 645 Deluxe Eight Dietrich Runabout, a hallmark of 1920s American luxury with its straight-eight power and coachbuilt body.

European heavyweights shine too: frame-off restored 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Drophead Sedanca Coupe by Freestone & Webb, period-correct 1913 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost London to Edinburgh Tourer, legendary Duesenberg Model J, and rare 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster—all boasting verified VINs and showroom condition.

Most notably, museum-grade entries from Pierce-Arrow, Hispano-Suiza, Bugatti, and Cadillac fill out the field, perfect for evaluating rarity, originality, and long-term value. A BOCAR reunion adds boutique American sports car heritage to the mix.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

Over 10,000 petrolheads—collectors eyeing market trends, gearheads dissecting mechanicals—pack the lawns, with cars grouped by era, class, and condition for easy scouting. Vendor rows, food trucks, and live music keep the day rolling without stealing focus from the metal.

Event and Parking Map of the Colorado Concours and Car Show

At its core, this is a charity fundraiser for Ability Connection Colorado, pulling in over $100,000 yearly for early childhood programs serving 400+ at-risk families. In its 43rd year, the show has raised over $2.5 million total—real impact from concours-quality metal.

GUEST HOSTS & CELEBRITIES

The real stars are the owners and 100-point judging panels of expert autophiles, scrutinizing panel gaps, factory-fresh bays, and VIN provenance for Best in Class awards. Honorary judges and Ability Connection Colorado board members uphold concours standards while driving the philanthropy.

Local dignitaries and car club reps roam the field, assessing heritage and desirability—no celebrity spectacle, just serious evaluation.

THE VENUE

Just south of Denver, Arapahoe Community College at 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive delivers manicured lawns ideal for concours displays. Wide-open spaces handle big crowds, letting car buffs circle low-mileage survivors, snap details of unrestored patina, and debate specs up close under clear Colorado skies—zero crowding, all access.
