SUMMARY:The Quail Motorsports Gathering Will Celebrate The Pinnacle of Luxury Car Collecting in Monterey August 15\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Set against the stunning backdrop of the Santa Lucia mountain range\, The Quail\, A Motorsports Gathering has solidified its position as the undisputed crown jewel of Monterey Car Week. \nThis ultra-exclusive event\, celebrating its monumental 23rd Anniversary in 2026\, offers an unparalleled experience for discerning car collectors and high-end automotive enthusiasts from around the globe. \nScheduled for Friday\, August 14\, 2026\, at the luxurious Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel\, California\, The Quail masterfully combines the finest elements of automotive excellence with a refined\, upscale garden-party atmosphere. \nThe prestigious gathering showcases over 300 rare\, historic\, and cutting-edge hypercars on the rolling fairways of the golf course\, delivering an extraordinary visual feast for attendees. While drawing similarities to the famed Pebble Beach Concours \, The Quail offers a uniquely focused peer-judged competition format wrapped in casual elegance. \nThe Car Show and Events Takes Place at The Quail Lodge & Golf Club In Carmel\, California \n\n“Over its decades of celebrations\, The Quail\, A Motorsports Gathering has become one of the most esteemed automotive events in the world with a truly one-of-a-kind atmosphere\,” said Kai Lermen\, Senior Vice President of Peninsula Signature Events. “The Peninsula Signature Events team is thrilled to welcome back elite collectors and enthusiasts\, along with our partners\, for this monumental occasion.” (Source: The Peninsula Hotels) \n\nWhat truly separates The Quail from traditional Concours d’Elegance events is its exquisite intersection of historic automotive passion and world-class luxury hospitality. The highly anticipated 2026 Gathering will highlight several extraordinary featured themes\, including: Advertisement\n\n100th Anniversary of Route 66 – Honoring the classic Americana iron that defined the Mother Road.\nThe Lamborghini Diablo – A tribute to the raw\, V12-powered\, iconic poster car of the 1990s.\nThe Legacy of Japanese GTs – Celebrating the precision engineering and skyrocketing value of rare\, low-mileage Japanese sports legends.\nThe Ferrari F40 – A curated spotlight within ‘The Great Ferraris’ class showcasing Maranello’s legendary\, limited-production twin-turbo masterpiece.\nThe Bruce Meyer Collection – A special curation from one of the world’s most renowned automotive curators\, emphasizing immaculate provenance and historical significance.\n\nAlongside these featured showcases\, the field will display its highly competitive traditional classes. Audiences will discover Pre-War Sports & Racing icons\, Post-War Sports and Racing staples\, the boundary-pushing The Evolution of the Supercar class\, pristine examples of Custom Coachwork\, and ultra-rare Sports and Racing Motorcycles. \nThe Quail Car Show and Main Event Will Feature Over 300 Vintage\, Classic\, and Historic Collectible Cars On The Grassy Lawns of The Quail Lodge & Golf Club’s Fairways. \nThis event moves far beyond static vintage displays. Vehicles of this pedigree boast immaculate frame-off restorations\, documented racing histories\, and museum-grade preservation. Because admission is tightly capped\, the intimate environment ensures that visiting car collectors can network directly with builders\, master restorers\, and legendary automotive designers. Advertisement\nThe sensory experience is heavily elevated by The Quail’s unparalleled five-star culinary component. Attendees will enjoy unlimited access to multiple gourmet pavilions preparing regional world cuisines\, paired alongside premium champagnes\, fine wines\, and custom-crafted spirits curated by private mixologists. \nCentral to the experience is the exclusive Quail Tent\, which merges five-star dining with close-proximity access to the newest prototype reveals\, limited-edition hypercars\, and bespoke luxury automotive lifestyle displays. \n \nThe extreme scarcity of access to The Quail is heavily reflected in its ticketing process. Passes are highly coveted across the global car collecting community and are strictly allocated via an online lottery system.

SUMMARY:2026 Geneva Concours d’Elegance Returns to Downtown Geneva\, IL (Aug. 23\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Geneva Concours d’Elegance is rolling back into downtown Geneva\, Illinois\, on Sunday\, August 23\, 2026. This free\, walkable event will transform Third Street into a stunning display. This street-level concours is where the details truly matter\, drawing Car Collectors who prioritize provenance\, originality\, and correct presentation. \nSet against Geneva’s historic downtown architecture\, the show offers Motoring Enthusiasts an intimate look at carefully preserved survivors\, properly restored classics\, and noteworthy exotics. The event is expected to feature more than 200 antique\, classic\, and exotic automobiles\, offering a spacious yet engaging atmosphere. The event also continues its support for the LivingWell Cancer Resource Center\, linking car culture with a significant local cause. \nThe Geneva Concours d’Elegance official website provides additional information. \n\nFEATURED CARS\nBased on available verified material\, the 2026 edition does not currently publish a confirmed Marque of the Year\, anniversary theme\, or named featured class. Until the organizers release that information via an official channel\, those details should be considered unverified. \nThe Geneva Concours d’Elegance Will Host Over 200 Classic Collector Cars and Play Host to Over 2\,000 Car Loving Guests Just West of Chicago on August 24\, 2025 \nWhat is confirmed\, however\, is the event’s broad collector-car focus. This spans early brass-era machines\, through postwar classics\, and into later exotics. This varied collection makes the field especially interesting for Automobile Connoisseurs who study build plates\, trim correctness\, restoration quality\, and ownership history\, rather than simply chasing shine. \nFrom a provenance-first perspective\, these types of cars fit the documented profile of the show and would make sense in a serious concours setting: Advertisement\n\n1908 Locomobile Sport Model — a brass-era survivor showcasing the early engineering and period character that serious Car Collectors deeply respect.\n1926 Carl Benz automobile — a historically important nameplate that belongs in a concours built around heritage\, documentation\, and originality.\n1955–1960 MG TF or MGA — a compact British roadster where correct trim\, finishes\, and mechanical details distinguish good cars from the truly exceptional ones.\n1930s Alfa Romeo or Bugatti pre-war roadster — the kind of pre-war machinery that draws Gearheads in when the chassis\, body\, and driveline align perfectly.\n1960s Ford F-100 or Chevrolet Task Force — a strong fit for a truck class\, provided the restoration maintains the factory character intact.\n\nFor experienced Driving Enthusiasts\, the appeal extends beyond mere polish. It includes authenticity\, documented provenance\, correct production details\, and the honest preservation that allows each car to tell its unique story. \nOne vehicle profile that fits the show’s documented character is the 1926 Carl Benz automobile. This can be referenced as the exact event vehicle listing associated with the Geneva Concours d’Elegance page. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. Advertisement\n\nEVENT HIGHLIGHTS\nThe 2026 Geneva Concours d’Elegance is scheduled as a one-day event on Sunday\, August 23\, 2026\, with public hours from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Judging commences earlier in the morning. The published description calls for more than 200 antique\, classic\, and exotic automobiles\, spanning the 1900s through the 1960s\, alongside later supercars and vintage race cars. \nThe top honor is the “Benz” Trophy\, awarded to the Best-of-Show winner. In a concours environment\, this typically means strong documentation\, precise details\, and historical significance hold more value than fresh paint alone. \nAdmission is free\, which makes the show accessible to everyone\, from casual Petrolheads to seasoned owners keen on comparing restoration standards and rare-spec details. The show also supports the LivingWell Cancer Resource Center as its official charity fundraiser\, ensuring the event provides a direct local benefit beyond the display itself. \nThe verified material reviewed here does not confirm any auctions\, galas\, rallies\, or track events tied to this show. Any such additions should be considered unconfirmed until they appear on official event channels. \n\nGUEST HOSTS & CELEBRITIES\nNo verified public announcement for a 2026 Concours Chairman\, honorary judges\, or celebrity hosts was available in the source material reviewed. The event is described as being judged by a panel of concours-level experts and Automotive Aficionados\, with a strong emphasis on originality\, condition\, and correctness. \nUntil the organizers publish a current roster\, any named host or judge should be treated as unconfirmed. Collectors should monitor the event’s official channels\, including its FB and YouTube presence referenced in the source material. \n\nTHE VENUE\nThe show takes place on Third Street in downtown Geneva.

SUMMARY:Corvettes at Carlisle Returns to Carlisle Fairgrounds for Corvette Car Show (Aug. 27-29\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The highly anticipated Corvettes at Carlisle returns to the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle\, Pennsylvania\, from August 27–29\, 2026. This annual three-day event brings together thousands of Corvette collectors\, automobile connoisseurs\, and serious motoring enthusiasts for a weekend celebrating the iconic American sports car. The beautiful 82-acre fairgrounds provide an ideal backdrop\, offering ample space for hundreds of Corvettes across all generations. This event is a paradise for auto fanatics and piston-heads alike. \nFor owners chasing provenance and buyers looking for the perfect addition to their collection\, this is where the details truly matter. You’ll find meticulous attention paid to trim tags\, factory colors\, drivetrain codes\, survivor condition\, and the unique stories behind each car. This focus on authenticity makes Carlisle a standout event\, attracting autophiles who appreciate the finer points of Corvette heritage. \n\nFeatured Cars\nCorvettes at Carlisle centers on the entire span of Corvette history. You’ll find cars from the earliest C1 models all the way through the modern C8 generation. These vehicles are typically represented across the expansive show field\, offering something for every taste. \nThe Corvettes at Carlisle Car Show will play host to over 5\,000 Corvette lovers who will be personally featuring over 400 new and old Corvettes at the 82-acre Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle\, PA on August 25-27\, 2022. \nEvent materials for 2026 should be consulted for any announced Marque of the Year\, special anniversaries\, or dedicated display themes. These details often define the strongest judging lanes and the most desirable rows. For collectors\, the appeal is clear: documented cars\, correct restorations\, and rare combinations that retain their original factory character add to the show’s allure. \nAmong the iconic Corvette lines likely to command attention are the 1953 C1\, the C2 Sting Ray\, the C3 generation\, the C5\, and the current C8. If Chevrolet or Carlisle Events announces specific anniversary displays for 2026\, such details will be verified and added. For now\, the real value lies in the diverse range itself: early fiberglass pioneers\, chrome-bumper era survivors\, and late-model performance cars all sharing one venue. \n\nEvent Highlights\nThe core of the weekend is the Corvette Car Show. Here\, owners showcase everything from tightly preserved originals to carefully sorted restorations and modern performance builds. For gearheads who enjoy comparing engineering across generations\, the walk-through is the main attraction\, allowing a close look at engine bays\, factory markings\, restoration quality\, and period-correct details side by side. Advertisement\nThe second major draw is the Corvette Parade Park & Party on Saturday\, August 29\, 2026. Hundreds of Corvettes will roll through the Historic District of Carlisle before the social side of the hobby takes over downtown. This event is less about static display and more about the sound\, motion\, and shared stories that come with such a long-running marque event. You can find more details about this and other events on the official Carlisle Events website. \nCollectors should also anticipate the usual Carlisle mix of automotive flea market offerings\, memorabilia\, food\, drinks\, and staged entertainment across the fairgrounds. For any auto fanatics hunting for parts\, literature\, or hard-to-find Corvette pieces\, this aspect of the event can be just as valuable as the show field itself. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. Advertisement\n\nGuest Hosts & Celebrities\nNo verified 2026 list of concours chairmen\, honorary judges\, or celebrity hosts was available in the source material. Before publishing final copy\, these names should be confirmed directly from Carlisle Events’ 2026 event pages or official announcements. Information on these notable figures is usually released closer to the event date. \nIf Carlisle Events releases a judge roster\, highlighting it in a collector-focused article is worthwhile. The names involved can signal the event’s judging standards\, restoration emphasis\, and how seriously originality is weighed against modification. However\, these specific details should not be added until they have been officially verified. \n\nEvent Details\n\nShow Name: Corvettes at Carlisle 2026\nDate: August 27–29\, 2026\nTime: Thursday–Saturday\, 7:00 AM–6:00 PM\nTickets: Daily admission pricing and pass options should be verified on the official Carlisle Events ticket page before publication. The 2023 source text listed a one-day ticket at $20\, a spectator event pass at $35\, and kids **12 and under free**\, but those figures may change for 2026.\nLocation: Carlisle Fairgrounds\, 1000 Bryn Mawr Rd\, Carlisle\, PA 17013\nView on Google Maps \nPresented By: Carlisle Events\nContact: 717-243-7855\nEmail: info@carlisleevents.com\nSocial: Facebook link available through Carlisle Fairgrounds and Carlisle Events official channels\n\n\nSchedule of Events by Day\nThursday\, August 27\, 2026\nThe show field opens for the main Corvette display\, along with vendor activity and fairground programming. Activities run from morning through late afternoon\, welcoming early arriving motoring enthusiasts. \nFriday\, August 28\, 2026\nThis day features continued Corvette judging and ample display time. Moreover\, it offers the strongest opportunity for close-up inspection of restored\, preserved\, and modified cars\, a treat for any serious grease monkey. \nSaturday\, August 29\, 2026\nThe Corvette Parade Park & Party takes center stage today. This includes the parade cruise through Historic Downtown Carlisle and the associated social gathering afterward\, attracting numerous car buffs. \n\nThe Venue\nCarlisle Fairgrounds occupies an 82-acre property in Carlisle\, Pennsylvania. It boasts multiple indoor exhibit halls\, outdoor stages\, a grandstand\, and expansive parking\, making it perfectly suited for large marque gatherings. The layout is especially effective for collector-car events\, providing room for indoor displays\, vendor rows\, and open-air judging without feeling cramped. \nThis design means Corvette owners and prospective buyers can spend more time inspecting the cars and less time navigating crowded areas. It’s an ideal setting for automobile connoisseurs to enjoy the collection without distraction. \n\nEvent Summary\nCorvettes at Carlisle 2026 | Carlisle Fairgrounds\, Carlisle\, PA | Corvette Car Show and Parade Event

SUMMARY:Artomobilia Returns to Carmel\, IN August 29\, 2026\, With Nearly 500 Collector Cars
DESCRIPTION:Artomobilia will return to Carmel\, Indiana\, on Saturday\, August 29\, 2026\, bringing nearly 500 collector cars\, classics\, race cars\, exotics\, supercars\, and specialty automobiles to the streets of the Carmel Arts & Design District and Midtown.Now in its 19th year\, Artomobilia is a large public automotive celebration built around the idea that automobiles can be appreciated not only as machines\, but also as examples of industrial design\, engineering\, craftsmanship\, and artistic expression. \nThe main Artomobilia show takes place from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday\, August 29\, with the streets of downtown Carmel transformed into an open-air automotive gallery. \nSpectator admission to Artomobilia is free\, and no general-admission ticket is required. Some separate premium events associated with Artomobilia Weekend require their own tickets. \n\nWhat Is Artomobilia?\nArtomobilia is best described as a combination of a collector-car show\, automotive festival\, marque gathering\, and community celebration. \n \nRather than placing all the cars inside a traditional show field\, the event uses the streets and public spaces of downtown Carmel as its venue. \nThe 2026 show will feature approximately 500 vehicles distributed among collector classes\, enthusiast corrals\, special displays\, and marque-focused gatherings. Advertisement\nThe range of automobiles can extend from pre-war classics and historically significant collector cars to competition cars\, unusual specialty vehicles\, modern performance cars\, exotics\, and contemporary supercars. \nOrganizers review vehicle applications before accepting cars into the show\, helping create a varied field rather than simply filling spaces on a first-arrival basis. \n\nWhy Artomobilia Is Different From a Traditional Concours\nArtomobilia includes curated collector-car classes and awards\, but it does not operate exactly like a traditional concours d’elegance. Advertisement\nSelect classes may be judged\, while other vehicles are displayed in less formal enthusiast corrals or marque-specific groups. \nThe emphasis is placed on the presentation\, quality\, history\, and stories behind the automobiles rather than making formal concours judging the sole focus of the event. \nThat format gives visitors an opportunity to see historically important automobiles alongside cars owned and driven by local and regional enthusiasts. \nFor collectors\, it also creates a setting where owners\, club members\, restorers\, dealers\, specialists\, and enthusiasts can meet throughout the day. \n\nNearly 500 Cars Take Over Downtown Carmel\nFor 2026\, Artomobilia is expanding its footprint across both the Carmel Arts & Design District and Carmel Midtown. \nThe display extends along portions of North Rangeline Road\, Main Street\, and Monon Boulevard\, creating a walkable automotive show that connects the two downtown districts. \nThe expanded layout provides additional room for automobiles while also connecting visitors with Carmel’s restaurants\, galleries\, shops\, and other businesses. \nThe result is closer to a downtown automotive festival than a conventional car show confined to a parking lot or show field. \n\nCollector Classes\, Corrals\, and Paloozas\nUnderstanding Artomobilia is easier if visitors think of the event as several different automotive shows operating together. \nCollector Classes are curated groups typically organized around an era\, marque\, vehicle type\, or theme. \nCorrals provide a somewhat less formal setting for groups of enthusiast-owned cars and automotive communities. \nThen there are the Paloozas\, which are large marque-focused displays dedicated to specific manufacturers. \nFour major Palooza gatherings are scheduled to take place alongside Artomobilia on August 29. \n\nPräzision-Palooza Brings Together Generations of Porsche\nPorsche enthusiasts will find their own large gathering at Präzision-Palooza\, presented along North Rangeline Road in the Carmel Arts & Design District. \nThe Porsche display celebrates more than 75 years of the marque and is expected to include cars ranging from early Porsche 356 models to contemporary high-performance cars and supercars. \nPräzision-Palooza runs concurrently with Artomobilia from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. \n\nLotus-Palooza Comes to Carmel Midtown\nLotus-Palooza will occupy part of Carmel Midtown and focus on automobiles built around Lotus founder Colin Chapman’s emphasis on low weight\, balance\, and efficient performance. \nThe display will include a collection of Lotus sports cars representing the company’s road and competition-inspired engineering history. \nLotus-Palooza will be held at Carmel Midtown\, with the organizer listing 365 Monon Boulevard as the location. \n\nBMW-Palooza Celebrates BMW Performance\nBMW will also receive its own dedicated gathering during Artomobilia. \nBMW-Palooza is scheduled for Carmel Midtown and will feature vehicles ranging from classic BMW sport sedans and coupes to M performance models and newer automobiles. \nBMW-Palooza runs from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.\, allowing visitors to move between the BMW and Lotus displays and the main Artomobilia collection. \n\nMercedes-Palooza Adds More Than 50 Mercedes-Benz Vehicles\nThe Carmel Arts & Design District will also host Mercedes-Palooza\, another major marque-specific component of the show. \nOrganizers say more than 50 Mercedes-Benz automobiles are expected\, including heritage classics\, collector cars\, roadsters\, enthusiast vehicles\, and modern performance models. \nMercedes-Palooza also takes place from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. \n\nArtomobilia Weekend Starts on Friday\nAlthough the main public Artomobilia show is Saturday\, the larger automotive weekend begins a day earlier. \nOn Friday\, August 28\, the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge is scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Motor District. \nThe event highlights restored Porsche automobiles and the work involved in preserving and rebuilding historically significant cars. \nLater Friday evening\, the Veloce Hangar Party takes place from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Jet Access at Indianapolis Executive Airport. \nVeloce combines approximately 50 performance automobiles with private aircraft\, food\, drinks\, live music\, and hospitality. Unlike the Saturday Artomobilia show\, Veloce is a separate premium event requiring admission. \n\nArtistry & Elegance Ladies’ Luncheon\nA separate Artistry & Elegance Ladies’ Luncheon is also scheduled during Saturday’s festivities. \nThe luncheon runs from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Matador Restaurant and combines dining\, entertainment\, and conversation while supporting programs of St. Mary’s Early Childhood Center. \nThis is a separate experience from general spectator admission to Artomobilia. \n\nA Collector-Car Festival in the Middle of the City\nOne of Artomobilia’s distinguishing characteristics is its location. \nInstead of asking spectators to remain inside a dedicated show venue\, the event incorporates the surrounding Carmel Arts & Design District and Midtown into the experience. \nVisitors can walk between collector-car classes\, manufacturer displays\, restaurants\, galleries\, shops\, and specialty automotive gatherings throughout the day. \nFood vendors and local restaurants are available throughout the district\, and the event area is designed to be accessible and family-friendly. \nPhotography for personal use is also permitted. \nArtomobilia is scheduled as a rain-or-shine event\, although severe-weather changes or other important updates would be communicated through the organizers’ website and social-media channels. \n\n2026 Artomobilia Schedule\nFriday\, August 28\, 2026\n\nPorsche Classic Restoration Challenge\n10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nMotor District\nVeloce Hangar Party\n7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.\nJet Access at Indianapolis Executive Airport\nSeparate premium/ticketed event\n\nSaturday\, August 29\, 2026\n\nArtomobilia\n11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nCarmel Arts & Design District & Carmel Midtown\nPräzision-Palooza – Porsche\n11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nCarmel Arts & Design District\nLotus-Palooza\n11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nCarmel Midtown\nBMW-Palooza\n11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nCarmel Midtown\nMercedes-Palooza\n11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nCarmel Arts & Design District\nArtistry & Elegance Ladies’ Luncheon\n12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.\nMatador Restaurant\nSeparate event\n\n\nArtomobilia 2026 Tickets\, Times\, and Event Details\n\nEvent: 19th Annual Artomobilia\nDate: Saturday\, August 29\, 2026\nPublic Show Hours: 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nSpectator Admission: Free\nTickets: No general-admission ticket is required for the main Saturday Artomobilia show.\nMain Venue: Carmel Arts & Design District and Carmel Midtown\nMain Event Address: 200 South Rangeline Road\, Carmel\, Indiana\nMidtown Display Area: 365 Monon Boulevard\, Carmel\, Indiana\nVehicles: Approximately 500 collector\, historic\, competition\, enthusiast\, exotic\, and performance automobiles\nWeather: Rain or shine\nFamily Friendly: Yes\nOfficial Website: Artomobilia.org\n\n\nParking and Visitor Information\nSpectator parking is available in and around the Carmel Arts & Design District and Midtown. Because the event occupies multiple downtown streets\, visitors should review the latest official Artomobilia information before arrival for parking locations\, street closures\, and traffic instructions. \nFor collectors visiting central Indiana during the final weekend of August\, Artomobilia offers an opportunity to see hundreds of automobiles across multiple eras and marques while exploring one of Carmel’s principal downtown districts. \nThe main Artomobilia show takes place Saturday\, August 29\, 2026\, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.\, with free admission for spectators.

SUMMARY:Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival Returns to Downtown Auburn\, Indiana (Sept. 3-6\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival returns to Downtown Auburn\, Indiana\, from Wednesday\, September 3\, 2026\, through Sunday\, September 6\, 2026. This event brings together Auburns\, Cords\, Duesenbergs\, and an impressive collection of owner-driven classics for a four-day run. \nThe festival is built around showcasing significant provenance\, distinctive design\, and real-world use of these remarkable vehicles. For Car Collectors and Automobile Connoisseurs\, this weekend offers a unique opportunity where historic metal is not only displayed\, but also driven\, paraded\, and openly discussed. \nThe festival’s official programming centers on the Car Show\, Downtown Cruise-In\, Parade of Classics\, and a visit to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum\, which offers free admission as reported in the festival materials. The lineup also includes auction activities\, museum programming\, and citywide displays that draw Motoring Enthusiasts who appreciate both chassis numbers and coachwork. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nFeatured cars and heritage\nThe 2026 event materials reviewed for this article do not document a formal Marque of the Year or a specific anniversary theme. Therefore\, that detail is not being added here. However\, what is clearly featured is the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg triad itself\, along with a broad field of classics that gives owners and Automobile Connoisseurs plenty to study up close. \nThe Auburn\, Cord\, Duesenberg Automobile Museum Featured The Evolution of America’s Finest Luxury Motorcar. \nAt minimum\, collectors can expect to see the festival’s core machinery represented by Auburn\, Cord\, and Duesenberg examples\, including cars associated with the 9th Street Experience. The event materials also highlight the return of SweetCars and the Fort Wayne Driving Club. Advertisement\nJoining the lineup\, the Fort Wayne Driving Club brings a separate display of contemporary exotics and performance cars to downtown Auburn. Five model families or icons clearly tied to the current festival coverage are Auburn\, Cord\, Duesenberg\, Ferrari\, and Lamborghini. \nThe festival’s own coverage also names Bugatti\, McLaren\, Porsche\, Corvette\, Camaro\, and Mustang among the cars expected in the SweetCars display. This provides Gearheads and high-end collectors a useful spread of eras and engineering philosophies. \nFor readers tracking auction-grade metal\, Auburn remains one of the few places where pre-war American luxury and modern supercar culture share the same streets. That makes the weekend useful not only for viewing\, but for comparing restoration quality\, originality\, and how different owners present their cars in a live public setting. Advertisement\nFor a representative Auburn-era reference point\, collectors may also want to study the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival coverage and the museum’s own holdings at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum. \n\nEvent highlights\nThe signature stop for many Hot Rodders\, Car Buffs\, and serious pre-war collectors is the Downtown Cruise-In\, which is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday\, September 6\, 2026. Festival materials describe a street-filled gathering that has drawn up to 800 classic cars in past years\, with the historic courthouse area acting as the main backdrop. \nThe 9th Street Experience remains the place to find the festival’s strongest Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg presence\, with cars positioned between Jackson and Main. For owners who value originality\, trim correctness\, and period presentation\, this is the area that will matter most. \nThe SweetCars and Fort Wayne Driving Club display is scheduled for Saturday\, September 6\, 2026\, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.\, and is billed in the source material as a showcase of more than 100 contemporary exotic supercars and sports cars. The festival text specifically names Ferrari\, Bugatti\, Lamborghini\, McLaren\, Porsche\, Corvette\, Camaro\, and Mustang among the brands likely to appear. \nThe Parade of Classics is set for Saturday\, September 6\, 2026\, at 1:00 p.m. and runs for two hours\, after which the cars are displayed around the courthouse square and along 9th Street. The event is described as a tribute to the Year of the Supercharged Car\, which will matter to collectors who follow mechanical evolution as closely as provenance. \n\nGuest hosts & celebrities\nThe source material for the current event identifies Corky Coker as Grand Marshal for the Parade of Classics. It also notes a performance by the DeKalb High School Baron Brigade Marching Band\, which will add a local public-festival feel to the day’s procession. \nNo verified 2026 source in the materials provided names a current Concours Chairman\, honorary judges\, or additional celebrity hosts. Therefore\, those roles are not being assigned here. For a collector-focused audience\, that absence matters: when official names are not published\, it is better to leave the program unembellished than to guess. \n\nThe venue\nVisit the festival at Downtown Auburn\, Indiana\, where the city grid\, courthouse square\, and surrounding streets give the event a compact\, walkable feel. Auburn’s automotive identity is not background noise here; it is the setting itself. \nThe museum\, downtown cruise-in\, parade routes\, and nearby show fields all sit within a few blocks\, making it easy for collectors to compare body styles\, finishes\, and authenticity without losing the thread of the weekend. \n\nFull schedule & ticket pricing\n\nShow Name: Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival 2026\nDate: Wednesday\, September 3\, 2026 – Sunday\, September 6\, 2026\nTime: Festival programming varies by day; key public events include the Downtown Cruise-In at 10:00 a.m. and the Parade of Classics at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday\, September 6\, 2026\, plus the SweetCars display from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.\nTickets: FREE\nLocation: Downtown Auburn\, Indiana\n\n\nSchedule of events by day\nWednesday\, September 3\, 2026\,\nFestival opening day; additional official programming should be confirmed directly with the event organizers. \nThursday\, September 4\, 2026\,\nMuseum and downtown festival activities continue; official timing should be checked against the latest festival release. \nFriday\, September 5\, 2026\,\nPre-parade and festival-weekend activities continue in Auburn; verify current auction and museum schedules with the event office. \nSaturday\, September 6\, 2026\,\nDowntown Cruise-In begins at 10:00 a.m.\, the Parade of Classics starts at 1:00 p.m.\, and the SweetCars display runs from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.. \nSunday\, September 7\, 2026\,\nThe published event dates supplied for this article end on September 6\, 2026\, so Sunday programming is not being added without current verification. \n\nEvent summary\nAuburn Cord Duesenberg Festival 2026 | Downtown Auburn\, Indiana | Classic car festival

SUMMARY:Concours of Elegance Returns to Hampton Court Palace Gardens with Rare Cars Display (Sept. 4-6\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Concours of Elegance\, presented by A. Lange & Söhne\, returns to the historic Hampton Court Palace Gardens from September 4–6\, 2026. This highly anticipated annual event brings together an exceptional collection of collector vehicles\, offering automotive aficionados a weekend where provenance\, rarity\, and first-time public showings take center stage. \nAccording to the official event pages\, the 2026 Concours will feature 60 extraordinary cars at Hampton Court Palace\, many making their UK debut. In addition to these\, nearly 500 other luxury and performance cars will be displayed across the three days. The event also includes a two-day driving tour for many concours entrants\, adding a dynamic driving element to the weekend\, rather than solely a static exhibition. \nThe stunning backdrop of Hampton Court Palace Gardens provides an incomparable setting\, perfectly complementing the lineage and beauty of these collector cars. For motoring enthusiasts\, it’s a truly immersive experience where historic architecture meets automotive excellence. You can learn more about this prestigious event at the official website: Concours of Elegance. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe official 2026 pages confirm that the event will showcase 60 of the rarest cars from around the world\, with a number never previously seen in the UK. However\, the event website has not yet published a full public model list. \nA Brand New Bugatti Divo Promenading Through the Concours of Elegance \nTherefore\, any detailed car-by-car preview beyond the official teasers would be speculation\, which is best avoided for car collectors who value accuracy. What is verified\, however\, is the scale and character of the display. \nThe main Concours cars are selected for their historical importance\, design\, and provenance. Joining them will be a broad field of rare machinery from leading private collections. For buyers and sellers who closely follow the market\, this blend typically offers a strong array of pre-war rarities\, post-war icons\, and modern exotics\, rather than a single-theme show. Advertisement\nMost notably\, one confirmed focal point is the presence of 80 total cars in the broader Concours program description. However\, the Hampton Court Palace event page describes 60 extraordinary cars on the lawn\, and the event page states that many of the cars participate in the driving tour beforehand. \nBecause the official descriptions differ slightly\, the safest interpretation is that the main concours field is limited and tightly curated\, with additional cars appearing across supporting displays. For car buffs seeking a specific vehicle to study\, the official pages do not yet provide a verified 2026 “star cars” roll call. \nConsequently\, a collector-grade article should maintain focus on the event’s proven strengths: rarity\, first public appearances\, and historically significant cars drawn from private ownership\, rather than museum stock. Advertisement\n\nEvent Highlights\nThe biggest draw in 2026 remains both the exquisite setting and the meticulous staging of the event. The Concours of Elegance masterfully combines the main lawn display with hundreds of other fine motor cars\, including The Club Trophy\, which integrates club entries into the same weekend. \nConcours of Elegance Hampton Court Palace in London \nThis integration gives the show greater depth than a simple top-tier concours field. Moreover\, another major talking point is the two-day driving tour that many concours entrants join before the main event. \nFor automobilie connoisseurs who value cars that are actually driven\, this detail significantly matters. It transforms the weekend into a moving celebration of engineering\, rather than just a static display. The official venue page confirms the show runs from Friday\, September 4\, through Sunday\, September 6\, 2026. \nPublic opening hours are listed as 10:00–18:00 on Friday and Saturday\, and 10:00–17:30 on Sunday. This schedule allows ample time for staged introductions\, club displays\, and the main awards moments\, ensuring an unhurried experience. The event pages currently do not publish a verified 2026 auction\, gala\, or track program\, so these elements should not be claimed as confirmed. \nHowever\, what is verified includes the concours itself\, the driving tour\, the club displays\, and a strong emphasis on presentation\, craftsmanship\, and original character. \n\nGuest Hosts & Celebrities\nThe official 2026 pages available in search results do not name a current Chairman\, honorary judges\, or celebrity hosts. Therefore\, these roles should be treated as not yet publicly verified for this year’s event. \nWhat is verified is the event’s association with A. Lange & Söhne as the presenting partner. The Hampton Court Palace page also positions the Concours of Elegance as one of the world’s leading automotive events\, which represents the strongest current official framing available. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \nIf the final guest list is important for your readers\, the safest approach is to wait for the organizer’s published 2026 program. This is crucial in a collector-focused article because named hosts and judges can change from year to year. \n\nEvent Details\n\nConcours of Elegance 2026 — September 4–6\, 2026 — Friday and Saturday 10:00–18:00; Sunday 10:00–17:30 — Location: Hampton Court Palace Gardens\, Hampton Court Palace\, East Molesey\, KT8 9AU.\nAdmission information — The official pages in the search results confirm the event dates and opening hours\, but they do not provide verified 2026 ticket pricing in the available sources.\nConcours of Elegance 2026 — Location: Hampton Court Palace Gardens\, within the historic grounds of Hampton Court Palace.\n\nView on Google Maps \n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS BY DAY\nFriday\, September 4\, 2026\nThis marks the opening day\, with the event running from 10:00 to 18:00. The official event page confirms that many concours cars begin the weekend after a two-day driving tour held in the days before the main show. \nSaturday\, September 5\, 2026\nThe activities continue from 10:00 to 18:00\, featuring the main lawn display\, club cars\, and supporting exhibits active throughout the day. The official material also confirms that hundreds of other fine motor cars will complement the core concours field. \nSunday\, September 6\, 2026\nThe final day runs from 10:00 to 17:30\, concluding the weekend. The official pages confirm that the show wraps up after the final day’s concours activity; however\, they do not publish a verified 2026 hour-by-hour timetable in the current search results. \n\nThe Venue\nHampton Court Palace lends substantial weight to this event. The palace grounds are historical\, formal\, and ideally suited for motor cars with genuine narratives\, not merely fresh paint. With the picturesque Fountain Gardens and the ancient royal backdrop\, the setting perfectly matches the kind of machines serious car collectors pursue: pre-war survivors\, coach-built one-offs\, and vehicles with documented lineage. \nIt is one of the rare locations where a significant chassis number feels completely at home. \n\nEvent Summary\nConcours of Elegance 2026 | Hampton Court Palace Gardens | Concours d’Elegance

SUMMARY:Historic Festival 44 at Lime Rock Park: Vintage Racing and Concours Excellence (Sept. 4-7\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Labor Day weekend at Lime Rock Park is back on the calendar for Friday\, September 4\, 2026\, through Monday\, September 7\, 2026. Sunday’s spotlight falls on Sunday in the Park\, featuring the Lime Rock Concours d’Elegance and the Gathering of the Marques. This is the day Lime Rock transforms its circuit into a rolling field of provenance\, restoration quality\, and mechanical history for serious car collectors. \nThis annual four-day event\, held at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville\, Connecticut\, promises to showcase nearly 1\,000 enthusiast cars and motorcycles. The venue itself\, nestled in the Northwest Hills\, offers a picturesque and historic backdrop perfectly suited for both vintage racing and a prestigious concours display\, making it a truly special experience for motoring enthusiasts. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe 2026 Historic Festival 44 centers on Alfa Romeo as the featured marque. Sunday in the Park will display nearly 1\,000 enthusiast cars and motorcycles around the circuit. For those tracking meaningful metal\, official materials point to a strong focus on historic significance\, class grouping\, and Best in Show competition within the concours field. \nPre-war and Post-war classic cars will be on display at the 2024 Sunday in the Park Lime Rock Concours \nAmong the relevant categories documented for 2026 are Alfa Romeo groupings\, homologation specials\, preservation cars\, turbocharged Porsche 911s\, and road-going Trans-Am cars. The event also notes Pick of the Paddock entries crossing from the race paddock into the concours. This offers car collectors a rare chance to see competition hardware with documented history in one place. \nFor car collectors thinking in terms of marque depth and historical importance\, the 2026 weekend also ties into featured race groups\, including Historic Trans Am and Formula Junior. This makes the event especially useful for anyone who values cars with period-correct specification\, race pedigree\, and clear lineage. \nFive documented vehicles or model families standing out in the 2026 coverage are Alfa Romeo 8C-era and Giulietta-era cars\, Giulia GTA-type cars\, late-model Alfa Romeo 4C\, 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Trans-Am cars\, and road-going Porsche 911 turbo models. The official event coverage emphasizes that Sunday’s display is built around significant examples\, not merely attractive show cars. Advertisement\nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nEvent Highlights\nSunday in the Park presented by HUB is the centerpiece of the weekend. It features the Lime Rock Concours d’Elegance\, the Gathering of the Marques\, and a Swap Meet\, all part of the Sunday program. The concours represents the judged side of the day. In contrast\, the Gathering of the Marques is the broader display where brand loyalty\, club presence\, and garage-to-track cars all mix together. \nClassic Bentley wins an award at the 2022 Lime Rock Concours d’Elegance \nThe official description states the Sunday program transforms the 1.5-mile circuit into a major automotive display\, with cars and motorcycles arranged around Lime Rock Park’s road course. For car collectors\, that layout truly matters. It allows automotive aficionados to study cars in motion on the same ground where historic race machinery earned its reputation. Advertisement\nThe weekend also includes the Historic Festival Parade on Thursday\, followed by three days of vintage racing on Friday\, Saturday\, and Monday. Sunday is the quiet reset day\, when the focus shifts from racing to the vehicles\, their owners\, and the stories behind the sheet metal. For more details\, visit the Lime Rock Park website. \n\nGuest Hosts & Celebrities\nThe verified 2026 materials identify the event’s featured marque and race groups. However\, they do not clearly document a current Concours Chairman\, an honorary judges list\, or a celebrity host roster in the source set reviewed here. When official names are not published\, it is better to leave them unlisted than to guess. \nThe best-documented public-facing figure tied to the weekend coverage is Mike Joy\, whose name appears in the 2026 Historic Festival reporting in connection with Historic Trans-Am machinery. That kind of presence matters to car collectors because it signals the event’s connection to real competition history\, not just polished display cars. \n\nThe Venue\nLime Rock Park in Lakeville\, Connecticut\, is one of the Northeast’s most recognizable road courses\, with a setting that suits both vintage racing and concours presentation. The track sits in the Northwest Hills\, giving the weekend a tucked-away\, old-school feel that fits the cars on display. For car collectors\, the appeal is the setting itself: a circuit with history\, room to breathe\, and a layout that allows rare cars to be seen without the usual show-field clutter. \n\nFull Schedule & Ticket Pricing\n\nHistoric Festival 44 — Friday\, September 4\, 2026\, to Monday\, September 7\, 2026 — Location: Lime Rock Park\, 60 White Hollow Road\, Lakeville\, CT 06039 — Tickets: Available through Lime Rock Park ticketing; pricing was not verified in the source set reviewed here.\nHistoric Festival Parade — Thursday\, September 3\, 2026 — Time: Not verified in the source set reviewed here — Location: Local area tour associated with Lime Rock Park — Tickets: See official Lime Rock Park listings.\nSunday in the Park presented by HUB — Sunday\, September 6\, 2026 — Time: Sunday program day — Location: Lime Rock Park circuit — Tickets: Included in Sunday in the Park / Historic Festival 44 event access; exact pricing not verified in the source set reviewed here.\nLime Rock Concours d’Elegance — Sunday\, September 6\, 2026 — Time: Part of Sunday in the Park — Location: Lime Rock Park road circuit — Tickets: Verified applications and participation details are posted by Lime Rock Park; pricing not verified in the source set reviewed here.\nGathering of the Marques — Sunday\, September 6\, 2026 — Time: Part of Sunday in the Park — Location: Lime Rock Park road circuit — Tickets: Verified applications and participation details are posted by Lime Rock Park; pricing not verified in the source set reviewed here.\n\n\nSchedule of Events by Day\nFriday\, September 4\, 2026\nVintage racing opens for the weekend as Historic Festival 44 moves into competition mode. \nSaturday\, September 5\, 2026\nRacing continues\, with the event building toward Sunday’s concours and brand displays. \nSunday\, September 6\, 2026\nSunday in the Park takes over the circuit with the Lime Rock Concours d’Elegance\, the Gathering of the Marques\, and the Swap Meet. \nMonday\, September 7\, 2026\nHistoric Festival 44 closes with more on-track vintage racing. \n\nEvent Summary\nHistoric Festival 44 2026 | Lakeville\, CT | Historic racing and concours weekend

SUMMARY:Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Collector Car Auction at Las Vegas Convention Center (Sept. 10-12\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Barrett-Jackson returns to Las Vegas for its 2026 Las Vegas Auction\, taking place September 10–12\, 2026\, at the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Over three action-packed days\, roughly 600 to more than 650 collector vehicles are expected to cross the block\, creating a steady stream of American muscle\, restored classics\, modern performance cars\, luxury automobiles\, and high-end exotics. \nThe docket includes some of the most recognizable names in the collector-car world\, with marques such as Ferrari\, Rolls-Royce\, Bentley\, Mercedes-Benz\, Maserati\, Lotus\, Shelby\, Chevrolet Corvette\, Dodge Viper\, and Cadillac. That mix gives visitors plenty to see\, whether their taste leans toward European luxury and exotic performance or classic American horsepower and historically significant automobiles. \nThis featured 2019 Ford GT Carbon Series pairs striking lightweight construction with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6\, seven-speed dual-clutch transmission\, titanium exhaust\, and Brembo brakes. With just 1\,102.7 miles\, one-owner history\, and provenance from the Coe Private Collection\, it is an exceptional modern supercar. Lot: 742 \nAnd the fun goes well beyond the auction stage. Guests can walk the vehicle displays\, browse sponsor exhibits and the marketplace\, enjoy food and drinks\, and watch the room come alive as each car rolls forward and the bidding starts to climb. Whether you are there to buy\, scout the market\, or simply spend a day surrounded by great cars\, Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas feels like a major car show\, live auction\, and automotive festival all in one. \n\nFEATURED CARS\nThe Barrett-Jackson 2026 Las Vegas Auction is set to bring some serious star power to the block\, led by a lightweight 2019 Ford GT Carbon Series\, a 1\,001-horsepower 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto\, and a historically significant 1951 Cadillac Royal Parade Convertible associated with Queen Elizabeth II.

SUMMARY:Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance 2026 Returns to Malvern\, PA (Sept. 11-13\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance 2026 returns Friday\, September 11\, 2026\, through Sunday\, September 13\, 2026\, at the Radnor Hunt Club in Malvern\, Pennsylvania. This annual three-day gathering is built around a barbecue dinner\, road rally\, black tie gala\, and the main concours on Sunday. For car collectors who value provenance\, coachwork\, and correctly presented machinery\, this event promises a display field as interesting as the parking lot itself. \nThe event’s own schedule lists a broad mix of classes for 2026\, including Classic Features: Bentley\, Sports Features: Pre WWII & WWII Racing Cars\, Vintage Features: American Pioneer Cars to Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary\, Motorcycle Features: Indian Motorcycles 125th Anniversary\, and Art of Design bikes with bodywork. The Sunday display also includes horse-drawn coaches and carriages\, rooting the event in a format that blends early motoring history with later collector-grade classics. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe 2026 lineup is built around Bentley in the classic feature class\, along with a strong motorsport thread in the Pre WWII & WWII Racing Cars category. The vintage side of the field is anchored by the American Pioneer Cars class\, created to recognize the nation’s 250th anniversary. In addition\, the motorcycle section marks Indian Motorcycles 125th Anniversary. \nThe Radnor Hunt is the only U.S. Concours d’Elegance where you will see horse drawn carriages along with pre-war\, post-war\, and modern automobiles. \nThis mix should appeal to buyers and builders who value documented history\, period correctness\, and the kind of presentation that makes a car easy to study at close range. Five standout categories to watch on the field are Bentley\, Pre WWII Racing Cars\, WWII Racing Cars\, American Pioneer Cars\, and Indian Motorcycles. \nThe 2026 schedule also confirms the presence of the horse-drawn coach and carriage display\, which gives collectors a rare side-by-side view of transportation history. For motoring enthusiasts tracking exact examples\, the official event website is also the place to follow the latest invitation and class details as they are finalized. Advertisement\nOne notable machine from the broader Radnor conversation is the 1953 Delahaye 135 MS CL Spéciale Faget-Varnet\, a one-off blue coupe that has been associated with the event coverage. This car remains a textbook example of the kind of coachbuilt European car that car collectors pursue for its design and rarity. 1953 Delahaye 135 MS CL Spéciale Faget-Varnet \n\nSpecial Events\nThe weekend opens with a Welcome Barbecue at The Radnor Hunt Club on Friday\, September 11\, 2026. The event schedule shows a 6:30 PM start\, with the barbecue cooked on site. This event is designed as a relaxed kickoff for car collectors\, owners\, and the grease monkeys who actually turn wrenches on these cars. It is the low-key part of the weekend\, but it is also where the good conversations usually start. \nHere are three classic HRG vintage sports cars including a 1950 1500 (top)\, a 1956 Twin Cam(left)\, and a 1947 1500 Aerodynamic (lower right). \nSaturday\, September 12\, 2026\, is the car-user’s day. The schedule lists Cars & Coffee presented by Classic Auto Mall from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Following this\, the Bill O’Connell Memorial Road Rally begins with registration and a driver’s meeting early\, and departures starting at 7:30 AM. The rally concludes with a catered lunch around noon\, which makes it a solid day for driving enthusiasts who prefer seeing cars in motion instead of just under the lights. Advertisement\nThe Saturday evening Black Tie Gala brings cocktails\, a silent auction\, dinner\, and dancing. The official schedule places the gala activities from 6:00 PM onward\, giving the weekend a proper concours-style finish before Sunday’s show field opens. \nSunday\, September 13\, 2026\, is the main event\, with the Concours d’Elegance running from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The schedule notes that gates open at 9:00 AM and the awards conclude at 4:00 PM. The horse-drawn coaches and carriages arrive around noon and remain on display through mid-afternoon. \n\nCelebrities\nThe event materials reviewed for 2026 confirm the presence of the Concours judges and selection committee. However\, they do not clearly document a public list of celebrity hosts or honorary judges on the schedule page. For that reason\, only the verified program elements should be treated as current: the class structure\, the rally\, the gala\, and the Sunday concours field. \nOver 200 Vintage Classic Cars From Several Different Car Collections Will Be On Display At The Radnor Hunt Country Club For The Annual Concours d’Elegance\, Road Tour Gala Dinner\, and Silent Auction \nFor car collectors\, the more important names are often the cars’ former owners\, builders\, and body coaches rather than the podium personalities. In that sense\, Radnor’s format suits the audience well. The focus stays on provenance\, marque history\, and presentation\, not on spectacle for its own sake. Find more information on the official event website: https://radnorconcours.org/. \n\nThe Venue\nRadnor Hunt Club sits at 826 Providence Road\, Malvern\, PA 19355\, on grounds that suit a concours built around elegance\, space\, and a strong sense of tradition. The setting gives the event room for both formal display and closer inspection\, with lawns\, clubhouse surroundings\, and equestrian character that fit the mix of antique coaches\, vintage automobiles\, and motorcycles. \nThis is a Best of Show Award-Winning 1932 Twin Six Individual Custom Convertible Sedan by Dietrich Although Dietrich had begun building custom coachwork for Packard in the mid-Twenties\, its most prestigious designs were the Individual Customs. \nMost notably\, it is a venue that rewards owners who care about presentation and automobile connoisseurs who want to study the details. \nView on Google Maps \n\nFull Schedule & Ticket Pricing\n\nWelcome Barbecue at The Radnor Hunt Club — Friday\, September 11\, 2026 — 6:30 PM — Tickets: advance purchase required; pricing listed on the event site — Radnor Hunt Clubhouse\, 826 Providence Road\, Malvern\, PA 19355\nCars & Coffee presented by Classic Auto Mall — Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 — 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM — Included with event participation; check the event site for access details — Radnor Hunt grounds\, 826 Providence Road\, Malvern\, PA 19355\nBill O’Connell Memorial Road Rally — Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 — Rally registration and driver’s meeting begin early; departures start at 7:30 AM; lunch around 12:00 noon — Advance ticket required; pricing listed on the event site — Radnor Hunt Club\, 826 Providence Road\, Malvern\, PA 19355\nBlack Tie Gala\, Silent Auction\, Dinner & Dancing — Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 — 6:00 PM onward — Advance ticket required; pricing listed on the event site — Radnor Hunt Clubhouse\, 826 Providence Road\, Malvern\, PA 19355\nRadnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance — Sunday\, September 13\, 2026 — 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM — Sunday tickets available online and\, based on availability\, at the gate; gate pricing is higher than online pricing — Radnor Hunt Club\, 826 Providence Road\, Malvern\, PA 19355\nAdmission notes — Sunday general admission is published by the event; Friday and Saturday ticketing is advance-only with no door sales — Check the official event site for final pricing and availability — Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance\, Malvern\, Pennsylvania\n\n\nSchedule of Events by Day\nFriday\, September 11\, 2026\nFriday\, September 11\, 2026\, starts with the Welcome Barbecue at the clubhouse.

SUMMARY:Old Car Festival Returns to Greenfield Village with Antique Cars & Activities (Sept. 12-13\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Old Car Festival is making its grand return to Greenfield Village in Dearborn\, Michigan\, on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 – Sunday\, September 13\, 2026. This two-day annual event features hundreds of vehicles from the 1890s through 1932\, perfectly situated in a village meticulously designed for historical immersion. \nFor dedicated classic car collectors and motoring enthusiasts\, the primary draw of this festival is the profound provenance\, the period-correct presentation of each automobile\, and the invaluable opportunity to closely examine surviving brass-era and pre-war machinery within a truly authentic setting. The venue itself\, Greenfield Village\, offers an unparalleled backdrop that elevates the experience\, making every viewing a step back in time. \nMost notably\, this year’s festival also marks a significant milestone: the diamond anniversary celebration of America’s longest-running antique car show. Further details about the event can be found on the official event website: The Henry Ford. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe 2026 event materials confirm that the Old Car Festival is built around hundreds of vehicles from the 1890s through 1932\, showcasing a vast collection rather than a small field of headliners. Therefore\, the appeal for car collectors lies in the impressive range\, originality\, and survivor quality of the vehicles on display. \nThe Old Car Festival features an early 1900s’ band\, early 1920s’ food\, and roasted peanut stand\, freshly prepared grilled country cooking\, and a 1900s’ themed fair with wooden carved games for the kids. \nFive particularly relevant vehicle categories for collectors at this year’s festival include the Ford Model T\, early brass-era cars\, steam cars\, electric cars\, and pre-war classics through 1932. These categories form the core of the show\, allowing auto fanatics to compare early engineering\, period accessories\, and restoration standards side by side. \nFor collectors seeking a detailed look at a cornerstone of the era\, the Stutz example from The Henry Ford’s collection remains a valuable reference point. This particular car embodies the type of pre-war sporting machinery that driving enthusiasts actively track at this event. Advertisement\n \nMost notably\, the 2026 festival also emphasizes hands-on mechanical interpretation\, including a live Model T assembly demonstration and vehicle skill games. Both activities are especially beneficial for owners studying originality and mechanical layouts\, providing practical insights for grease monkeys. \nOther historically important marques associated with the festival’s 2026 context include Haynes-Apperson\, Duesenberg\, Marmon\, and Studebaker. These brands are cited by The Henry Ford in connection with its Indiana automotive heritage feature for the year. \nFor collectors and motoring enthusiasts\, this means the event transcends a mere parade of old cars; it becomes an immersive field study in early American motoring development. Advertisement\n\nEvent Highlights\nThe Old Car Festival operates with a strong emphasis on motion rather than static displays. The main attraction is the Pass-in-Review parade\, where antique vehicles move through Greenfield Village throughout the weekend. \nThe Old Car Festival Shows Off With Original Antique Car Demonstrations & Experiences\,  Antique Car Motoring Games From Car Owners\, Gas Light Tours Where Everything Was Before Electricity\, And Multiple Car Collectors Awards For Best Antique Car Presentations At The Car Show. \nThis dynamic presentation offers automobile connoisseurs a better understanding of authentic driving behavior\, stance\, exhaust note\, and overall period correctness. \nSaturday\, September 12\, 2026\, serves as the late-day anchor\, with the event remaining open until 9:00 p.m. The evening culminates with the Gaslight Parade of Cars\, closing the day in a beautifully lantern-lit setting. Sunday\, September 13\, 2026\, follows regular Greenfield Village hours and concludes with the much-anticipated awards presentation. \nSpecial demonstrations continue to be a significant part of the program\, including the live Ford Model T assembly\, car games at Walnut Grove\, and narrated talks on early automotive lighting. Additionally\, there will be demonstrations of vehicle-side curtains. \nFor collectors\, these specific details are what truly distinguish a general car show from a genuine historical event. The 2026 event also highlights the long-standing tradition of restored and unrestored vehicles vying for recognition. \nAwards include the esteemed Popular Choice Award\, the Curator’s Choice Award\, and the prestigious Best-of-Show Award. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nGuest Hosts & Celebrities\nThe available 2026 event information does not specify a current Concours Chairman\, honorary judges\, or celebrity hosts for the Old Car Festival. Instead\, the confirmed public-facing event details primarily focus on the cars\, their owners\, historians\, and the interpretive programs directly linked to Greenfield Village. \nWalk along Main Street filled with holiday items\, food\, and hot drinks. You can also ride an old Model T\, carousel\, or wagon pulled by horses. Step inside old houses to see how families have celebrated for years. \nWhat is verified for 2026\, however\, is the presence of automotive historians\, car owners\, and experts who will help interpret the vehicles and their historical context. This approach keeps the tone grounded in authenticity rather than celebrity staging\, which is precisely what many motoring enthusiasts desire from an antique car weekend. \n\nThe Venue\nGreenfield Village is a living-history setting in Dearborn\, specifically built to evoke early American life. This unique environment provides the Old Car Festival with a backdrop that modern show fields simply cannot replicate. \nThe 1907 Apperson “Big Dick” was built between 1907-1908. The Apperson Big Dick had 96 horsepower and cost about $15\,000. Apperson put their race engine in a 50-hp Jackrabbit runabout to create the “Big Dick” The Big-Dick 96-hp racer held the record for the highest advertised horsepower vehicle in an American automobile until 1914.Image courtesy AACA Library \nThe village’s authentic brick streets\, period structures\, and detailed historical interpretation make it an ideal fit for brass-era\, veteran\, and pre-war cars. For collectors\, this setting helps showcase authentic use\, not just polished aesthetics\, which is crucial when provenance and period detail are central to the experience. \n\nFull Schedule & Ticket Pricing\n\nOld Car Festival — September 12-13\, 2026 — Saturday open until 9:00 p.m.; Sunday regular Greenfield Village hours — Free for members or with Village admission — Greenfield Village\, Dearborn\, Michigan\nGeneral Admission — 2026 pricing published by The Henry Ford — Included with Village admission for non-members — Admission required for entry — Greenfield Village\nMember Admission — September 12-13\, 2026 — Free general admission to Old Car Festival — Henry Ford members only — Greenfield Village\nEvent Participation Check-In — Thursday\, September 10\, 2026\, 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.; Friday\, September 11\, 2026\, 4:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.; Saturday\, September 12\, 2026\, 7:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. — Packet pick-up and registration support — Participant registration area — The Henry Ford\, Dearborn\nGaslight Parade of Cars — Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 — Evening program — Included with event admission — Greenfield Village\nAwards Presentation — Sunday\, September 13\, 2026\, approximately 4:30 p.m. — Popular Choice\, Curator’s Choice\, Best-of-Show — Included with event admission — Pass-in-Review stand\n\n\nSchedule of Events by Day\nSaturday\, September 12\, 2026\nSaturday\, September 12\, 2026\, begins with public admission at Greenfield Village and continues through a full day of car movement\, owner conversations\, skill games\, and demonstrations.

SUMMARY:Des Moines Concours d’Elegance at John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park (Sept. 12-13\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Des Moines Concours returns on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 – Sunday\, September 13\, 2026\, with the main Concours d’Elegance taking place on Sunday\, September 13\, 2026 at the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park in downtown Des Moines. For serious car collectors\, this is the kind of field day built around originality\, provenance\, and clean documentation\, with the Sunday show running from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and admission listed as free. \nThis annual two-day event provides a fantastic opportunity for motoring enthusiasts to admire a superb collection of cars. The setting at the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park offers an ideal blend of art and automotive design\, creating a clean and captivating backdrop for vintage sheet metal and brightwork. \nAn estimated 100 top-tier vehicles are expected to be on display\, showcasing a commitment to authenticity and historical merit. To learn more about this year’s collection and schedule\, please visit the official Des Moines Concours website. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nFEATURED CARS\nThe 2026 field is built around authenticity\, condition\, rarity\, design\, engineering\, and historical merit. The organizers state that replicas\, reproductions\, and modified vehicles will not be accepted. \nPhotos from a walk around the 2022 Des Moines Concours d’Elegance. Hundreds of classic automobiles are on display around the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in downtown Des Moines. \nThe 2026 featured classes confirmed on the event site include Cars of Pixar’s Cars movies and the Pontiac 100th Anniversary\, alongside broader concours classes such as Antiques\, Classics\, Exotics\, Preservation\, American Muscle\, Atomic Age Collectibles\, Space Age Collectibles\, and Motorcycles. Advertisement\nFor collectors\, that mix matters because it points to a show that values the right kind of metal: documented survivors\, original trim\, period-correct details\, and cars that still wear their story honestly. The strongest examples here are likely to be the ones with unbroken lineage and factory-correct presentation\, not the flashy rebuilds. \nAmong the most likely headline cars and model groups for this year’s display are Pontiac model examples spanning the brand’s 100-year tribute\, Pixar-inspired character cars\, pre-1928 antiques\, 1950s Atomic Age collectibles\, and unrestored or lightly preserved survivors in the Preservation class. \nThe event also spotlights American muscle up to 1973\, which should give muscle car junkies and historians plenty to study in terms of trim\, option codes\, and original drivetrain presentation. In contrast to more modern shows\, this event emphasizes classic examples. Advertisement\nA strong collector read on this show is simple: this is less about restomods and more about cars that can prove what they are. For car collectors chasing the next addition to a stable\, the appeal is in seeing side by side the rare\, the correct\, and the well-kept. \n\nEVENT HIGHLIGHTS\nThe weekend begins with the Des Moines Concours Charity Gala on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026\, at the Krause Gateway Center. It is the social anchor of the weekend and the place where collectors\, sponsors\, and automotive enthusiasts gather before the main show day. \nThe main exhibition follows on Sunday\, September 13\, 2026\, with the Concours d’Elegance open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Sculpture Park. The show remains free to the public\, and the event organizers note that donations are encouraged to help support event costs and the charity partners. \nProceeds after expenses benefit Children’s Cancer Connection and the Des Moines Concours Automotive Heritage Grant. That charitable structure gives the weekend substance beyond the cars\, and it is part of what keeps the event rooted in the local enthusiast community. \n\nGUEST HOSTS & CELEBRITIES\nVerified 2026 event leadership listed publicly includes Joseph Phillips and Steve Simpson as Co-Chairs. Additional 2026 team members identified by the organizers include Scott Edwards for Sponsorships\, Scott Diehn for Marketing\, David Holzinger for Exhibitor Care\, Tom Wollan for Vendor Coordination\, and Dylan Swicegood as Recruitment Chair. \nThe available event information does not clearly confirm a celebrity host or a named slate of honorary judges for 2026\, so those details should be treated as unverified unless the organizers publish a formal roster. For car collectors who value provenance over publicity\, that is not necessarily a drawback; the real draw is still the cars. \n\nTHE VENUE\nJohn and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park gives the Concours a setting that feels different from the usual fairground or golf-club lawn. The park’s downtown location\, open green space\, and modern sculpture collection create a clean backdrop for vintage sheet metal\, brightwork\, and long-hood proportions. For collectors\, the contrast between art and automotive design works especially well. \n\nFULL SCHEDULE & TICKET PRICING\n\nDes Moines Concours Charity Gala — Saturday\, September 12\, 2026 — 5:30 p.m. — $250 per person or $1\,800 per table of 8 — Krause Gateway Center\, Des Moines\nDes Moines Concours d’Elegance — Sunday\, September 13\, 2026 — 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. — Free — John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park\, downtown Des Moines\n\n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS BY DAY\nSaturday\, September 12\, 2026\nThe weekend starts with the Charity Gala at the Krause Gateway Center. This is the polished\, after-hours piece of the weekend\, where automobile connoisseurs can mix\, compare notes\, and talk through the cars they are following. \nSunday\, September 13\, 2026\nThe Concours d’Elegance takes over the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.. Expect the strongest original survivors\, class-specific displays\, and a crowd of motoring enthusiasts focused on authenticity\, condition\, and historical merit. \n\nEVENT SUMMARY\nDes Moines Concours 2026 | John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park\, Des Moines | Concours d’Elegance

The cars are arranged in carefully curated classes and judged on factors including rarity\, history\, authenticity\, preservation and overall presentation. \nAward ceremony featuring the 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Record\, with distinctive coachwork by Jacques Saoutchik\, presented on the concours stage at Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille. \nClass winners ultimately compete for Chantilly’s two coveted Best of Show awards—one for pre-war automobiles and another for post-war cars. Surrounding the judged field are marque clubs\, concept cars and special displays\, giving visitors the opportunity to see everything from early Grand Prix machinery and coachbuilt classics to Ferrari V12s\, Lamborghini Miuras and modern GT racing cars. \n\nEVENT HIGHLIGHTS\nThe official program features a prestigious Concours d’État\, which will be prominently displayed on the central mirror of the estate. A Garden Party is scheduled for club owners\, spectators\, and VIP hospitality guests\, offering an exclusive opportunity for socializing. \n \nAdditionally\, the event includes an exciting equestrian show and the highly competitive Grand Prix des Clubs\, complete with special prizes. The schedule culminates with a Best of Show presentation for the Concours d’État\, alongside a prize for the best hat\, adding a touch of elegance to the day. \nRELATED STICKY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors.
