ometimes all the elements come
together to make for a nearly ideal
outcome. Such may have been the
case when the Hemmings Motor News
Concours d’Elegance took place over the
last weekend in September this fall. For
the second year, Hemmings teamed with
the Saratoga Auto Museum in Saratoga
Springs, New York, to put on the event,
which was presented on the picturesque
lawns of the Saratoga Spa State Park,
adjacent to the museum. The setting
for the main event, Sunday’s concours,
is a sunken lawn surrounding a reflecting pool in the midst of the park’s historic spa buildings, an appropriate stage
to display some of motoring’s finest
moments.
This particular weekend was flush
with clear, sunny skies, warm climes
and a splash of early fall color to highlight the still lush lawns. For Sunday’s
concours, all participating vehicles are
individually selected and invited by our

staff in the months leading up to the
date, and this time out we were rewarded
with an unusually high response rate
that yielded a full field of nearly 160 cars.
In addition to our regular groupings of
vehicles, there were featured classes
highlighting Jaguar E-type, Chrysler
Street Hemi cars, 1966-1971, BMW cars
and motorcycles, pre-1977, Corvettes
of 1953-1973, Early Ford V-8s, 1932-1942,
American Fiberglass Specials of the Fifties, and a special grouping of cars from
the Class of 1958.
After enjoying a road tour on Friday,
an open cruise-in car show on Saturday
and Saturday evening’s dinner, featuring keynote speaker Sam Posey, who
was also presented with the Lee Iacocca
Award, Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance
was the icing on the cake. We’ve already
begun planning for next year’s event, so
watch hemmings.com for updates. In the
meantime, here are our 2013 participants
and their outstanding classic vehicles.
