LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY – The 19th annual Keeneland Concours d’Elegance will feature over 160 classic cars at the renowned Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky on July 1417, 2022.

As Concourse d’Elegance is a competition of vehicle quality and elegance, the car show will include judges and awards. There will be many car class awards and one final award for the best car of the entire show, called the “Best of Show.”

The Concours d’Elegance will showcase some of the finest vehicles in the country and will be judged on historical authenticity, presentation, and cleanliness.
