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)

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..

This single-day event promises a spectacular collection of over 400 cars on display\, blending rare classics\, exotic sports cars\, vintage Ferraris\, and unique custom builds. For serious car collectors and motoring enthusiasts\, this show emphasizes provenance\, presentation\, and unusual specifications as much as raw horsepower\, making it a highlight on the automotive calendar. \nWhat sets this show apart is its curated\, rather than judged\, format\, offering a distinct atmosphere compared to traditional concours events. This approach results in a diverse collection that spans from pre-war brass-era vehicles to modern supercars. The selection prioritizes character\, rarity\, and the compelling stories behind each machine\, drawing in automobile connoisseurs from across the region. \nLearn more about this unique gathering and plan your visit by exploring the official event website: Molto Bella Car Show. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe official 2026 event listing highlights the main display themes: Exotic Sports Cars\, Rare Classics\, Vintage Ferraris\, and Custom Cars.

This curated selection indicates the field is designed for automobile connoisseurs who appreciate historical depth and engineering excellence\, not just mainstream names. Advertisement\nFor car buffs seeking specific model details\, the verified 2026 sources do not publish a formal roster of individual star cars\, marque-of-the-year recognition\, or anniversary spotlights. The best way to understand the show’s offerings is through its confirmed categories and the makes highlighted by the organizers. \nMost notably\, expect to see Ferrari for those who appreciate vintage V12 lineage\, Duesenberg and Pierce-Arrow for pre-war significance\, Jaguar and Bentley for European pedigree\, and Cadillac and Packard for American luxury heritage. This diverse collection promises something for every piston-head. \nThe show’s format rewards vehicles with strong provenance\, thoroughly documented ownership history\, and period-correct restoration work. This aspect is particularly important for car collectors who prioritize vehicles with clear paper trails and authentic details.

The venue’s interpretive buildings and open grounds provide a stunning backdrop for viewing these exceptional cars\, particularly for autophiles who appreciate how a machine is presented within its landscape. \nFood and drink offerings\, featuring local vendors\, are also an integral part of the day.

Todaro and David C. Nelson as the individuals associated with the event organization. No current verified source in this research confirms a roster of celebrity hosts\, honorary judges\, or a named concours chairman for 2026. \nThis absence aligns with the event’s unique no-judging format. For car collectors\, the primary appeal lies less in competitive trophies and more in the cars themselves\, the thoughtful curation\, and the opportunity to compare restorations\, originality\, and presentation without the usual competitive pressures. This creates a relaxed atmosphere for automobile connoisseurs. \n\nThe Venue\nHale Farm & Village is situated on a historic site in Bath\, Ohio\, featuring restored 19th-century buildings\, active farm traditions\, and live craft demonstrations. This rich setting provides a distinctive texture to the show\, with barns\, gardens\, and period structures complementing the collection of collector cars. This makes the event feel deeply rooted in its location\, rather than simply placed in a parking lot. For gearheads who appreciate historical context as much as gleaming chrome\, it is an ideal pairing. \n\nFull Schedule & Ticket Pricing\n\nShow Name: La Macchina Molto Bella Auto Show\nDate: Sunday\, September 13\, 2026\nTime: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM\nTickets: Adult admission is listed at $15; ages 13-17 are $12; children under 13 are free\nLocation: Hale Farm & Village\, 2686 Oak Hill Rd\, Bath\, OH 44210\nTicket Options: Available through the organizer’s website\, at the gate by credit card\, or by phone at 330-929-3377\n\nView on Google Maps \n\nSchedule of Events by Day\nSunday\, September 13\, 2026\nThe main show day runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Hale Farm & Village\, showcasing the full collection of exotic sports cars\, rare classics\, vintage Ferraris\, and custom cars. \nRain note: One verified listing indicates the event may be postponed to September 20\, 2026\, in the event of rain.

SUMMARY:Vail Concours 2026 Returns with Over 100 Collector Cars in Lionshead Village (Sept. 18-20\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Vail Concours 2026 returns to Vail\, Colorado\, from September 18–20\, 2026\, offering a three-day program tailored for serious car collectors. This annual event emphasizes provenance\, condition\, and the driving experience. This marks the 17th annual show\, with advance registration required for participants\, and spectators welcome to the main concours on Sunday at no charge. The stunning alpine backdrop of Lionshead Village provides a truly memorable setting for over 100 collector cars to be displayed.\n \n\nThe event’s official site describes it as built around a weekend of driving\, gathering\, and display. The beautiful mountain scenery enhances the experience\, allowing motoring enthusiasts to enjoy a range of metal up close.\n \n\nFeatured Cars\n\nThe 2026 event showcases a broad collection of vehicles\, rather than focusing on a single marquee. This approach benefits car collectors and automobile connoisseurs\, providing a diverse selection of vehicles to study in one location. The official class structure includes pre-war cars\, American classics\, American sports cars\, European classics\, European sports cars through 1976\, and European sports cars from 1977 to present.\n \nThe 2025 15th Annual Vail Concours & Car Show takes place in Vail\, Colorado over a three-day weekend that attracts thousands of car enthusiasts for a fun-filled car-theme weekend. The Car Show features over 100 classic cars\, plus a Scenic Car Tour\, Texas Style BBQ\, Cars & Coffee\, and Classic Car Concours. \n\nJoining the lineup are Asian classics and sports cars\, muscle cars\, super cars\, hot rods\, and motorcycles. Five particularly important categories for car collectors are pre-World War II cars\, American classic cars\, European classic sedans\, European sports cars\, and super cars.\n \n\nThe show also explicitly welcomes display-only entries. This typically results in a richer mix of documented survivors\, carefully restored cars\, and late-model exotics on the same lawn for autophiles to admire.\n \n\nFor those tracking notable machines likely to be featured\, official examples cited for judging classes include the Ford Galaxie 500\, Chevrolet Impala\, Corvette\, Pontiac GTO\, Mustang\, Camaro SS\, and various BMW and Mercedes-Benz sedans. While these are illustrative examples and not a confirmed exhibitor list\, they indicate the type of provenance-friendly collection the organizers are curating for 2026.\n Advertisement\nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nEvent Highlights\n\nThe weekend kicks off on Friday\, September 18\, with an advance-registration road tour\, followed by evening social programming for participants. The official events page states the show is designed around a weekend of driving\, gathering\, and display\, with specific times and locations provided directly to registered entrants.\n \nThe Vail Concours and Car Show will celebrate its 14th annual three-day car show in Lionshead Village\, Colorado \n\nSaturday\, September 19\, is geared towards the general public and car enthusiasts\, with the casual Cars & Coffee format bridging the gap between the opening tour and the main concours. This setting allows auto fanatics to view auction-grade cars without a restrictive atmosphere\, and where passionate owners will gladly discuss chassis numbers\, options\, and restoration intricacies.\n Advertisement\n\nMost notably\, Sunday\, September 20\, is the headline Vail Concours\, where collector cars will fill Lionshead Village and the Vail Mountain Lionshead Base area near the Eagle Bahn Gondola. The official event description confirms that spectators can circulate freely\, while registered cars are judged in classes assigned by the Chief Judge.\n \n\nGuest Hosts & Celebrities\n\nThe current event page confirms a Chief Judge who is responsible for assigning each entry to its appropriate class\, but the individual’s name is not publicly listed. As of now\, there is no verified 2026 list of honorary judges\, celebrity hosts\, or other high-profile automotive personalities posted on the official event pages reviewed.\n \n\nHowever\, for seasoned collectors\, this is not considered a disadvantage. Significantly\, it means the focus remains squarely on the cars themselves\, their historical documentation\, and the expertise of those who genuinely evaluate originality\, restoration quality\, and historical relevance.\n \n\nThe Venue\n\nThe Vail Concours utilizes Lionshead Village and the surrounding Vail Mountain base area as its impressive stage. This location provides the vehicles with a pristine alpine backdrop and a walkable layout\, which works exceptionally well for close inspection. The setting is compact enough to allow for thorough viewing\, yet spacious enough for owners to park their cars in a manner that encourages genuine conversation among motoring enthusiasts. For collectors\, the venue is crucial: it prioritizes the vehicles and maintains a relaxed atmosphere.\n \n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS BY DAY\nFriday\, September 18\n\nThe activities begin with the Barrett-Jackson-sponsored mountain road tour\, which is one of the weekend’s primary attractions for piston-heads who enjoy driving their cars. The route is described as a scenic journey from Vail into the surrounding Colorado mountains\, including a catered picnic lunch and a return to Vail via a different path.\n \n\nLater that evening\, the Cars & Cocktails dinner provides participants with an opportunity to exchange insights on restorations\, concours preparations\, and the practicalities of maintaining rare machinery at altitude. The official description highlights an evening of food\, drinks\, dancing\, lawn games\, and live music for all auto fanatics.\n \nSaturday\, September 19\n\nThis day is designated as a relaxed show-and-shine event\, with Cars & Coffee bringing together antique cars\, vintage cars\, brass-era pieces\, muscle cars\, exotics\, supercars\, and hypercars. This is an ideal day for gearheads to examine details closely\, including trim correctness\, paint quality\, interior originality\, and whether a car truly presents as a survivor or a meticulously performed restoration.\n \nSunday\, September 20\n\nThis is the concours itself\, with over 100 collector cars expected throughout the village. The judging format emphasizes appearance\, design\, and condition\, which will appeal to automobile connoisseurs who value impeccable presentation and well-documented ownership histories.\n \n\nEvent Details\n\nRoad Tour — Friday\, September 18\, 2026 — Time: Morning to afternoon — Tickets: Advance registration required — Location: Downtown Vail and surrounding Colorado route.\nCars & Cocktails / Participant Dinner — Friday\, September 18\, 2026 — Time: Evening — Tickets: Included for registered participants; advance registration required — Location: Vail area venue\, location emailed to registrants.\nCars & Coffee — Saturday\, September 19\, 2026 — Time: Morning through mid-afternoon — Tickets: Public admission free — Location: Vail Mountain base area / Lionshead area.\nVail Concours — Sunday\, September 20\, 2026 — Time: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for spectators — Tickets: Public admission free; no registration required for spectators — Location: Lionshead Village and Vail Mountain Lionshead Base area near the Eagle Bahn Gondola.\nParticipant Registration — September 18–20\, 2026 — Time: Per event schedule — Tickets: Advance registration required for all participant events — Location: Event-specific.\n\n\nEvent Summary\n\nVail Concours 2026 | Lionshead Village\, Vail\, Colorado | Automotive Concours and Collector Car Event\n \n\nVideo\n \n\nAbout\n\n► VAIL CAR SHOW EVENT WEBSITE\n \n\n► FACEBOOK\n \n\nThe Vail Automotive Classic Car Show and Concours is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

SUMMARY:FuelFest New Jersey Returns to New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville (September 19\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:FuelFest New Jersey 2026 returns to New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville on September 19\, 2026\, bringing together Car Collectors\, Motoring Enthusiasts\, and race-day regulars for a one-day blend of live drifting\, roll racing\, music\, and a large multi-marque car show. This annual event promises a mash-up of music festival energy\, car culture\, auto racing\, auto expositions\, guest appearances\, pro drivers\, movie cars\, and interactive sponsor exhibits. \nThe event is built around the enthusiast crowd that shows up for the machinery first and the spectacle second. Expect a collection of over 300 top-tier cars to be on display at the wonderful New Jersey Motorsports Park\, providing a dynamic backdrop where performance is part of the scenery. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe official FuelFest New Jersey 2026 page confirms a broad display of movie cars\, pro driver machines\, and a wide range of all makes and models. However\, it does not publish a verified 2026 marque of the year\, anniversary theme\, or model-specific feature list on the current event page. \nCody Walker At Fuelfest in a phot-op with a VIP guest after a live stage performance \nBecause no 2026 featured-marque program is documented in the verified source\, it would be inaccurate to name a headliner lineup beyond what the event itself states. For serious vehicle heritage hunters\, the draw is the mix of modified\, rare\, performance-built\, and exotic cars that appear across the show field. \nIn contrast to a single factory-curated brand spotlight\, the event is also known for interactive sponsor exhibits and movie cars. This can make the paddock feel more like a rolling archive than a static display. \nBecause the current official materials do not verify specific cars for 2026\, it is not possible to name five confirmed models scheduled for this event. Advertisement\n\nEvent Highlights\nThe confirmed 2026 FuelFest New Jersey program centers on live drifting\, supercar roll racing\, live music\, guest appearances\, and a large car show covering everything from classics to contemporary performance builds. The official description also emphasizes pro drivers\, movie cars\, and interactive sponsor exhibits\, giving the day a stronger track-side feel than a typical static show field. \nCaptured in motion at FuelFest are a collection of professional drifters in some of the most elite modified\, exotic\, and performance-tuned vehicles. \nFor Car Collectors\, the useful angle is provenance and presentation: this is the kind of event where a documented restoration\, a factory-correct survivor\, or a properly sorted restomod can stand out as much as a six-figure exotic. Most notably\, the mix of show cars and on-track action makes the event more appealing to buyers who want to inspect metal in a setting that feels alive. \nThe official page also positions FuelFest as a family-friendly event. Its broad entertainment mix is designed to keep the whole crowd engaged while the cars stay front and center. Advertisement\n\nGuest Hosts & Celebrities\nThe verified host named on the official FuelFest New Jersey page is Cody Walker\, who fronts the event alongside the broader FuelFest format that mixes automotive culture with entertainment. The source also references pro drivers and guest appearances. \nHowever\, it does not publish a verified 2026 list of honorary judges\, concours chairmen\, or a detailed celebrity roster on the current page. Therefore\, the only confirmed personality-level name that can be included for 2026 is Cody Walker. \nAny additional judges or celebrity participants would need to be verified from a current official schedule or event release before they are named in a collector-grade article. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nThe Venue\nNew Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville is one of the Northeast’s better-known road-racing facilities. It features a layout that supports both competition and large-scale enthusiast gatherings. \nIts paddock and straightaway spaces make it a practical fit for drifting\, roll racing\, and show-car staging. The track environment gives the day a harder-edged motorsport feel than a typical fairground venue. For Car Collectors\, the setting matters: cars look right when they are displayed where performance is part of the scenery. Visit the official event website to learn more: FuelFest New Jersey. \n\nFull Schedule & Ticket Pricing\n\nShow Name: FuelFest New Jersey 2026\nDate: September 19\, 2026\nTime: The current official event page does not publish a verified start or end time.\nTickets: The verified source confirms ticketed admission and a family-friendly format. However\, it does not provide current 2026 pricing in the supplied official text. Earlier pricing shown in the source material is not verified for 2026 and is therefore omitted.\nLocation: New Jersey Motorsports Park\, 8000 Dividing Creek Rd\, Millville\, NJ 08332\nView on Google Maps \nExperience: Live drifting\, supercar roll racing\, live music\, guest appearances\, interactive sponsor exhibits\, pro drivers\, and movie cars\n\n\nSchedule of Events by Day\nSeptember 19\, 2026\,\nFuelFest New Jersey 2026 is listed as a single-day event in the supplied event data. The verified source does not publish a day-by-day itinerary\, so a detailed run-of-show for auctions\, galas\, rallies\, or track sessions cannot be stated as confirmed. \nWhat is verified is the event’s core format: a full-day mash-up of car show\, track activity\, music\, and sponsor displays. The day is built around on-site movement rather than a closed concours schedule. For Automobile Connoisseurs\, that means arriving early and spending time in the paddock and display areas\, where the strongest cars usually reveal themselves in the details. \n\nEvent Summary\nFuelFest New Jersey 2026 | New Jersey Motorsports Park\, Millville\, NJ Car Show\, Motorsport\, and Entertainment Event

SUMMARY:The Bridgehampton Concours Returns with Over 300 Historic Cars at The Bridge (Sept. 19-20\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Bridgehampton Concours returns on Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\, at The Bridge in Bridgehampton\, New York\, with a private invitation-only showcase on Saturday\, and a public program on Sunday\, September 20\, 2026. For serious car collectors\, this is the kind of event that rewards a close look: post-war sports and competition cars\, documented provenance\, and a setting built on real racing ground rather than a staged backdrop. \nThe official event pages say the exhibition is centered on more than 300 cars of great provenance\, and the focus remains on post-war sports and competition machinery. The venue\, The Bridge\, sits on the hallowed site of the original Bridgehampton Race Circuit. This gives the entire show a proper motorsport spine and makes it especially appealing to automobile connoisseurs who care about history\, lineage\, and period-correct detail. \nFor more details\, the official Bridgehampton Concours site is the place to check. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe 2026 field is built around post-war sports and competition cars. Most notably\, the strongest interest usually goes to machines that have real history behind them: original condition\, competition use\, documented ownership\, or well-done restoration work that stays true to the car’s spec. That is what gives this event its edge for collectors looking beyond shiny paint and into the metal underneath. \nMany new luxury cars from Aston Martin\, Lamborghini\, McLaren\, Porsche\, and Bentley were on display on the fairways\, valued at over $50 million. \nThe official event description does not publish a full 2026 class list\, so any exact entry roster should be treated as fluid until event day. Even so\, the marques most closely associated with this kind of field include Ferrari\, Porsche\, Aston Martin\, Jaguar\, and Shelby Cobra. All of these fit naturally with the concours’s competition-car focus and the Bridgehampton racing legacy. Advertisement\nJoining the lineup are other names that commonly fit this venue’s character\, including Bugatti\, Lamborghini\, Mercedes-Benz\, and Rolls-Royce. However\, only cars actually confirmed on the day should be counted as part of the display. For gearheads\, the real draw is not the badge alone; it is the chassis history\, the restoration standard\, and the paperwork trail. \nBecause no official 2026 Marque of the Year or anniversary theme is published on the event pages reviewed\, none is stated here. \n\nEvent Highlights\nSaturday\, September 19\, 2026\, is the main concours day\, held at The Bridge and reserved for invited participants and confirmed guests. The event page describes a tightly curated show of more than 300 cars\, with judging and hospitality built around the idea of presenting significant machines in the exact place where Bridgehampton racing history was made. Advertisement\n \nSignificantly\, Sunday\, September 20\, 2026\, opens the door a little wider. The public program at the Bridgehampton Museum runs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with complimentary admission. This is followed by a limited-ticket gathering at Topping Rose House from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.. That structure gives motoring enthusiasts and casual fans a second chance to study the cars without the private-event pressure. \nThe event also carries a charity component. Ticket proceeds from the Sunday program benefit Heart of the Hamptons. In addition\, the overall Bridge program remains tied to the broader philanthropic identity that surrounds the Hamptons concours scene. \n\nGuest Hosts & Celebrities\nThe official Bridgehampton pages reviewed for 2026 do not list a Concours Chairman\, honorary judges\, or celebrity hosts for The Bridge X 2026 Presented by Mercedes-Benz USA. Because that information is not published there\, it should not be guessed at or borrowed from other Hamptons events. \nVerified coverage does confirm that Bradford Rand and RAND Luxury are associated with the broader Hamptons concours program. However\, that does not substitute for an official Bridge host list. For this article\, the safest and most accurate approach is to leave the guest roster unfilled until the event’s own organizers publish it. \n\nThe Venue\nThe Bridge sits in Bridgehampton on land tied to the original Bridgehampton Race Circuit\, so the setting carries real motorsport weight. That matters to collectors because the cars are not just displayed in a pretty field; they are shown on ground where racing history actually happened. The venue suits people who want to study provenance\, period correctness\, and build quality up close\, not just take quick photos. \nView on Google Maps \n\nFull Schedule & Ticket Pricing\n\nShow Name: The Bridge X 2026 Presented by Mercedes-Benz USA\nDate: Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\nTime: 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. EDT\nTickets: By invitation only\nLocation: The Bridge\, Bridgehampton\, New York\n\n\nShow Name: Bridgehampton Museum Public Program\nDate: Sunday\, September 20\, 2026\nTime: 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.\nTickets: Complimentary admission\, open to the public\nLocation: Bridgehampton Museum\n\n\nShow Name: Topping Rose House Program\nDate: Sunday\, September 20\, 2026\nTime: 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.\nTickets: Limited tickets at $275 per person\, with a contribution from ticket sales benefiting Heart of the Hamptons\nLocation: Topping Rose House\, Bridgehampton\n\n\nSchedule of Events by Day\nSaturday\, September 19\, 2026\nThe Bridge opens for the invitation-only concours. Guest check-in and parking are handled off-site at Nova’s Ark\, with transfers provided to the main venue. The day is built around the private showcase\, judging\, and the kind of close inspection that appeals to serious car collectors and automobile connoisseurs. \nSunday\, September 20\, 2026\nThe program shifts to the public-facing Bridgehampton Museum event from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.\, followed by the limited-ticket gathering at Topping Rose House from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.. That gives car buffs a more open window to study the cars and take in the atmosphere without the exclusivity of the Saturday program. \n\nEvent Summary\nThe Bridge X 2026 | Bridgehampton\, New York | Invitation-Only Concours d’Elegance

This promises a diverse and engaging experience for all who attend the Telluride Autumn Classic. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe 2026 Telluride Autumn Classic centers on a broad collection of vehicles rather than a single\, narrow theme. The official schedule and sponsor materials highlight vintage vehicles\, supercars\, Corvettes\, motorcycles\, and historic aircraft as the core elements of this captivating mix. This makes it a strong weekend for automotive connoisseurs who value provenance\, presentation\, and period-correct detail over sheer volume. \nSet in the San Juan Mountains\, the Telluride Autumn Classic offers much more than a conventional motoring festival. Over four days\, this event celebrates the world of automobiles and motorcycles\, while also weaving in family-friendly activities\, live music\, art\, contests\, shopping\, and more. \nMost notably\, five particularly relevant vehicle categories for this year’s program include the Corvette\, Ford GT\, Shelby models\, classic American muscle cars\, and pre-war and post-war collector cars\, all prominently featured in the 2026 event materials. The event’s design-panel programming also delves into GM\, Shelby\, and Ford GT heritage\, a discussion that will resonate with buyers and owners who closely follow engineering lineage. \nIf you’re seeking a benchmark for the market aspect of this realm\, a comparable high-spec collectible like a 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet exemplifies the kind of documented rarity and engineer-led prestige that collectors often pursue at gatherings like this.

SUMMARY:The Boston Cup Classic Car Show Returns to Boston Common (Sept. 27\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Boston Cup returns to Boston Common on Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, with the 15th annual show set for the Parkman Bandstand from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For serious classic car collectors\, this is the kind of field where provenance\, coachwork\, and originality matter as much as shine. Motoring enthusiasts can expect to see a collection of over a hundred top-tier classic cars\, all meticulously judged in one of the most historic public parks in the United States. \nThis single-day event is renowned for its highly selective\, invitation-only concours d’elegance format\, showcasing a curated selection of pre-war and post-war masterpieces. The stunning backdrop of Boston Common\, established in 1634\, elevates the experience\, making each vehicle display a blend of automotive artistry and civic history. \nThe Boston Cup is an annual highlight for automobile connoisseurs\, offering a unique opportunity to witness automotive history in a truly remarkable setting. Learn more about this prestigious gathering at the official event website: The Boston Cup. \n\nFeatured Cars\nThe official event page confirms a curated concours format with pre-war and post-war classics from England\, Germany\, Italy\, and the United States\, but it does not publicly list a 2026 model roster. That means the safest collector-focused takeaway is to expect a tightly judged mix of historic European and American metal rather than a casual general-class show. \n1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom Tourer once owned by silent film star Clara Bow. \nThe Boston Cup’s own positioning emphasizes ultra-rare\, historically significant\, concours-level cars\, so the strongest verified expectation is a field built around documented provenance\, period correctness\, and high-level presentation. Any featured marques\, anniversary displays\, or spotlight cars should be treated as unconfirmed unless the event publishes them directly. \nFor readers tracking notable classics\, the event’s format historically aligns with cars of the sort that draw attention from car collectors and automobile connoisseurs: pre-war touring cars\, coachbuilt luxury cars\, post-war American converts\, and European standards with known history. The current official materials do not verify five specific 2026 cars\, so none are named here. Advertisement\nA verified venue-linked example from the event’s own historical coverage is the 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom Tourer once owned by Clara Bow\, shown with the Owls Head Transportation Museum. That kind of ownership trail is exactly the sort of detail that separates a nice old car from a real collector piece. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nSpecial Events\nThe Boston Cup is presented as an invitation-only concours d’elegance at Boston Common\, with judging by country of origin and manufacturer. The show’s official description highlights pre-war and post-war vehicles\, and it has long been framed as one of the most selective classic car events in New England. Advertisement\nThe Boston Cup Concours Best of Show was awarded to a 1931 Duesenberg Willoughby J-368 owned buy Leonard Worden. \nVerified event timing for 2026 is straightforward: Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The show is listed as rain or shine\, which matters for owners moving rare cars across town and for the gearheads who care just as much about wet-weather prep as paint depth. \nThe public-facing event page also notes that this is the 15th annual event. No official 2026 schedule of auctions\, rallies\, or track activities was verified from the event site\, so those should not be added without direct confirmation. \n\nCelebrities\nNo current 2026 concours chairman\, honorary judges\, or celebrity hosts were publicly verified in the event materials reviewed. The official event content available for 2026 does not name a host roster\, so it would be inaccurate to fill in those names here. \nThe only verified personalities tied to the source material are Russ Rocknack and Jenna Lookner of the Owls Head Transportation Museum\, shown in a past Boston Cup display context. Beyond that\, the 2026 guest list remains unconfirmed. \n\nEvent Details\n\nShow Name: The Boston Cup Classic Car Show 2026\nDate: Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\nTime: 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.\nTickets: General Admission $50; VIP $100\nLocation: Parkman Bandstand\, Boston Common\, Boston\, MA\n\nView on Google Maps \n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS BY DAY\nSunday\, September 27\, 2026\nMain concours show day at Boston Common from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The official materials reviewed do not verify separate auction\, gala\, rally\, or track-event programming for this date. \n\nThe Venue\nBoston Common is the right backdrop for a concours with this kind of pedigree. Established in 1634\, it is the oldest public park in the United States and one of Boston’s most recognizable open spaces. For collectors\, the setting adds a layer of civic history that fits the cars on display. Parked among the trees\, walkways\, and city landmarks\, a rare classic reads differently than it would in a parking lot or fairground. \n\nEvent Summary\nThe Boston Cup Classic Car Show 2026 | Boston Common\, Boston\, MA | Concours d’Elegance

SUMMARY:19th Annual St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance at Kent Island Yacht Club\, Maryland (Sept. 27\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Annual St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance is rolling back into the Kent Island Yacht Club on Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, bringing serious car collectors\, marque specialists\, and provenance-minded enthusiasts to one of Maryland’s most scenic waterfront settings. This annual two-day event pairs rare motorcars with a polished Chesapeake Bay backdrop\, plus VIP hospitality\, concours judging\, and a strong mix of classic metal\, wooden boats\, and racing history. Automobile connoisseurs can expect to see over 300 top-tier cars. \nThe venue\, Kent Island Yacht Club\, offers a relaxed yet refined atmosphere on the Chesapeake Bay waterfront. Its lawn and marina setting provide a beautiful open-water backdrop for the impressive collection of cars and boats\, creating an ideal environment for those who appreciate both presentation and provenance. \n\nFEATURED CARS\nThe 2026 field is built around the kind of cars that make collectors stop and study the details: coachwork\, ownership lineage\, race history\, and how much of the car still reads as original. The official event materials confirm several standout classes and featured displays\, with the strongest verified themes centered on Porsche\, Rolls-Royce\, De Tomaso\, Chrysler\, and past award-winning cars. \nTalbot Country Club is rich in history and tradition from its founding in 1910 and this year will host the St Michaels 18th Annual Concours d’Elegance. \nMost notably\, the event will debut a dedicated special class for pre-1975 Porsche automobiles\, giving marque purists a focused look at early air-cooled engineering\, period-correct trim\, and the cars that established Porsche’s collector reputation. \nIn addition to these\, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is being honored with a curated display spanning multiple generations\, including early Phantom I and Phantom II cars\, post-war Phantom IV\, V\, and VI limousines\, and modern Phantom VII and VIII models. That makes this one of the clearest lineage displays in the event lineup. \nThe verified featured anchor here is the De Tomaso Mangusta\, a Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed mid-engine GT produced from 1967 to 1971. For car collectors\, the draw is the blend of short-run production\, Italian styling\, and Ford V8 power. Advertisement\nOther featured highlights include\, the event materials also point to a Chrysler 100th anniversary celebration through the Grand Marque showcase\, with classic Chrysler automobiles displayed as part of the anniversary tribute. The Winners’ Circle will bring together past Best of Show automobiles from major concours fields such as Pebble Beach\, Amelia Island\, and Radnor Hunt. That kind of pedigree matters to automobile connoisseurs because it means the cars arrive with a documented concours record already attached. \nTwo especially notable individual cars are also confirmed in the event materials: a 1906 Locomobile Vanderbilt Cup race car with real early American competition history\, and a 1931 Cadillac 370A V12 Roadster formerly owned by Jean Harlow. Those are the sorts of entries that combine ownership story\, race background\, and period significance in one package. \nVisit the event website for more details. Advertisement\n\nEVENT HIGHLIGHTS\nThe 2026 St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance is not just a parked-car show. It is structured around judging\, hospitality\, and a full waterfront experience that keeps the program moving from early lineup to awards and evening wind-down. \nSt. Michaels Concours d’Elegance and Car Show Ends With an Award Ceremony For This Year’s Winners \nThe public show takes place on Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, while entrant activity runs across the weekend beginning on Friday\, September 25\, 2026\, and continuing through the concours itself. Verified event programming includes entrant registration\, a welcome reception for registered entrants\, invited guests\, and sponsors\, then Sunday show field judging\, lunch\, awards presentation\, and a post-show reception. \nFor car collectors\, the appeal is straightforward: cars with documented history\, class-specific judging\, and a field that mixes concours-grade restoration with historically important survivor-level machinery. The confirmed waterfront setting also adds wooden boats\, yachts\, and a proper social backdrop without drifting too far from the metal. \nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nGUEST HOSTS & CELEBRITIES\nThe verified 2026 material names Luke L. Phipps as the Concours Chairman. He is also quoted in event materials discussing the expanded VIP program\, the entrants gallery\, the gourmet lunch\, champagne service\, and the addition of a fashion show and wooden boat display. \n2021 Best Of Show at the St. Michaels Concours D’Elegance was this 1936 Horch 853A Special Roadster owned by Robert Jepson- Only seven were ever built with a straight eight-cylinder engine with five-liter displacement\, it was far more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz 540K. \nNo independently verified 2026 list of honorary judges or celebrity hosts is provided in the available official event information reviewed here\, so those names are not included. For a collector audience\, that is the right call: only confirmed personnel should be listed when the published roster is incomplete. \n\nEVENT DETAILS\n\nShow Name: 19th Annual St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance\nDate: Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\nTime: Public gates open at 10:00 a.m.; VIP entry begins at 9:00 a.m.\nTickets: Early Bird General Admission: $55.00; VIP Tickets: $200.00\nLocation: Kent Island Yacht Club\, 117 Yacht Club Drive\, Chester\, MD 21619\nWebsite: smcde.org\n\nView on Google Maps \n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS BY DAY\nFriday\, September 25\, 2026\nEntrant-related programming begins\, including trailer parking logistics\, registration\, and a welcome reception for registered entrants\, invited guests\, and sponsors. \nSaturday\, September 26\, 2026\nWeekend entrant activity continues ahead of the public show. Official materials indicate the event weekend runs from Friday through Sunday for entrants. \nSunday\, September 27\, 2026\n6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Entrant automobiles line up to take the field. \n8:30 a.m. Collector Car Park opens to attendees and car clubs. \n9:00 a.m. Gates open to VIP ticket holders; judging begins. \n10:00 a.m. Gates open to all attendees; food and beverage concessions open. \n11:00 a.m. Complimentary champagne is served in the VIP Lounge. \n11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. VIP and entrant lunch at the Kent Island Yacht Club pavilion. \n1:30 p.m. Awards presentation. \n4:00 p.m. Concours concludes. \n\nTHE VENUE\nKent Island Yacht Club sits on the Chesapeake Bay waterfront in Chester\, Maryland\, and its lawn and marina setting give the concours a relaxed but refined feel. The venue works well for a high-end field because the cars\, boats\, and crowd all share the same open water backdrop. That combination of shoreline views\, marina access\, and room for display creates the right environment for collectors who appreciate presentation as much as provenance. \n\nEVENT SUMMARY\nSt. Michaels Concours d’Elegance 2026 | Kent Island Yacht Club\, Chester\, Maryland | Concours d’Elegance

SUMMARY:RM Sotheby's Sealed Elite Collector Car Auction (Sept. 30\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:RM Sotheby’s to Offer 2024 Gordon Murray T.50 in Single-Car Sealed Auction\nRM Sotheby’s will offer a 2024 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 through its Sealed September auction\, with bidding opening September 23\, 2026\, and closing September 30\, 2026. The car is located in London\, United Kingdom\, and will be sold through RM Sotheby’s confidential online sealed-bid format. \nThis particular T.50 is chassis 047 of only 100 production cars built and has covered just 62 miles from new. It was completed in 2024 to European specification and remains unregistered\, with a unique Harrier exterior over Luffield Tan leather and satin paint-protection film. \nRM Sotheby’s estimates this T.50 at £4.2 million to £4.6 million\, or approximately $5.5 million to $6 million. Recent auction results show how quickly values have climbed: the first T.50 offered publicly\, chassis 035\, sold for $5.63 million in Abu Dhabi in December 2025\, while chassis 009 achieved $8.035 million at Broad Arrow’s California Mille auction in April 2026. Those results suggest strong collector demand for the model\, especially for exceptionally low-mileage examples. \n \nThe T.50 was created by legendary Formula 1 and McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray as a modern interpretation of the lightweight\, analog supercar. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter Cosworth V12 producing 661 horsepower\, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The engine revs to an extraordinary 12\,100 rpm. \nThe T.50’s driver-focused cockpit features a central driving position flanked by two passenger seats\, analog instrumentation\, lightweight carbon-fiber construction\, and a beautifully exposed six-speed manual gearshift mechanism. \nLike the McLaren F1\, the T.50 features a central driving position with two passenger seats positioned slightly behind the driver. Its most distinctive engineering feature is the large rear-mounted fan\, which works with the car’s aerodynamic system to reduce drag and increase downforce without relying on a large fixed rear wing. \nhe T.50’s massive rear-mounted fan accelerates airflow beneath the car\, increasing downforce\, reducing aerodynamic drag\, and improving high-speed stability without a conventional rear wing. \nWeighing only 997 kilograms\, or about 2\,198 pounds\, the T.50 was engineered around Gordon Murray’s long-standing emphasis on low weight\, driver involvement\, and mechanical simplicity. Only 100 road-going production examples were planned\, making this low-mileage example an unusually rare opportunity on the collector-car market. Advertisement\nView details on RM Sotheby’s website: 2024 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 \n\nAuction Date and Bidding Details\nBidding for RM Sotheby’s Sealed September sale opens at 2:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026\, with bidding beginning to close at 2:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday\, September 30. Unlike a traditional live auction\, participants submit confidential bids online and cannot see competing bid amounts. \nThe T.50 is currently located in London\, United Kingdom\, and prospective bidders must register with RM Sotheby’s before participating in the sale.

This four-day annual event is meticulously crafted for those who appreciate the rich provenance\, exceptional engineering\, and exquisite metalwork that define world-class automobiles. Taking place across stunning venues such as Fort Adams\, the International Tennis Hall of Fame\, and the charming streets of Newport\, it promises an unforgettable experience. \nThe event goes beyond a typical car show\, integrating concours judging\, an exciting supercar program\, dynamic auction activities\, and casual cars-and-coffee style gatherings. Motoring enthusiasts will find an impressive collection of over 300 top-tier cars on display\, showcasing both historic significance and cutting-edge performance. Fort Adams\, with its expansive grounds and stunning waterfront views\, provides a magnificent backdrop\, allowing each vehicle to shine in an appropriate and elegant setting. \nThe week’s program is designed to immerse automotive aficionados in the world of exceptional automobiles\, offering both static displays and moving spectacles. With its blend of history\, luxury\, and speed\, the Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week is truly a highlight on the calendar for any auto fanatic. For more information\, please visit the official event website: Audrain Automobile Museum. \n\nFEATURED CARS\nThe 2026 Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week introduces a significant modern performance angle\, complementing its traditional concours classes. The official 2026 Audrain Supercar Concours d’Elegance proudly lists an impressive new-car lineup\, highlighting the pinnacle of contemporary automotive design and engineering. \n \nThis collection includes the breathtaking Aston Martin Valhalla\, the elegant Bugatti Tourbillon\, and the powerful Ferrari F80. Joining them are the innovative Gordon Murray GMA T50\, the extreme Koenigsegg Jesko\, and the captivating Lamborghini Temerario.

The Audrain program is expertly built around this captivating contrast. Advertisement\nAmong the headline public-driving moments\, the Tour d’Elegance and the Supercar Tour add dynamic motion to the weekend. In contrast\, the main concours lawn at Fort Adams offers the static inspection time that automobile connoisseurs desire when examining condition\, finish\, and originality. \n2026 Audrain Supercar Concours d’Elegance \n Advertisement\nRELATED STORY: Don’t Miss The Top 10 Events Upcoming for Car Collectors. \n\nEVENT HIGHLIGHTS\nThe week kicks off on Thursday\, October 1\, 2026\, with a full day of opening activities. This includes Will Call for attendees\, followed by the highly anticipated Broad Arrow Auction Preview\, held at the Von Auersperg Building within the International Tennis Hall of Fame. \nThe Audrain Automobile Museum will also be open for exploration on Thursday\, October 1\, 2026. Additional highlights for the day include the elegant Audrain Hat Luncheon\, the delightful Wine By The Water event\, and the thrilling Supercar Tour at Fort Adams. \nMoving into Friday\, October 2\, 2026\, the momentum continues with more auction previews and a variety of Motor Week programming spread throughout Newport.

The evening culminates with a prestigious gala at the International Tennis Hall of Fame. \nFinally\, Sunday\, October 4\, 2026\, marks the grand concours day. The main event\, the Audrain Newport Concours d’Elegance\, presented by A. Lange & Söhne\, will take place at the magnificent Fort Adams\, showcasing an exquisite collection of classic and rare automobiles. \n\nGUEST HOSTS & CELEBRITIES\nThe verified event materials for the Audrain Newport Concours d’Elegance\, presented by A. Lange & Söhne\, do not currently identify a Concours Chairman\, honorary judges\, or celebrity hosts in the reviewed source set. \nTherefore\, it is prudent to omit names rather than speculate. For true car collectors and motoring enthusiasts\, the automobiles themselves and the rigorous judging standards hold greater significance than celebrity endorsements. The impressive 2026 schedule already provides ample weight to the week\, making an invented guest list unnecessary. \n\nTHE VENUE\nFort Adams State Park stands out as one of Newport’s premier locations for a collector-car event.
