    I didn't see a thread about this upcoming show. This coming Sunday in WP the annual Concours happens. I hope we have decent cool weather for the event.

    Will see you there. We are bringing the red 328 this year. Should be a nice show, I believe we are going to have the park as part of the show this year.

    That would be a big help, not so crowded on the street.

    I'll be there with 308 GTB Vetroresina s/n 19567. I really like this show - the setting is great and it's the start of "car season" in Florida! With some good luck we'll have great Fall weather.

    Forza,
    David

    I won't be able to make it this year. I'm throwing a baby shower for my best friend that day. Have fun!

    This weekend is going to be very busy with the Winter Park Concours, the Italian Cars at Daytona event, and the Cocoa Beach airshow! The Festival of Speed is the following weekend. I think the fall driving season is in full swing, Anzir!

    Not really, it's open to all kinds of cars including hot rods and bikes. A lot of dealers show new cars (not my favorite) but there are a lot of interesting cars to see. It will get crowded, however, but it's worth seeing. This weekend promises to be a bit cooler which is guaranteed to bring out the crowds.

    Hi,
    What is the basis for your observation? Did you find it "stuffy" compared to other concours websites such as the Festivals of Speed, Amelia Island, Meadowbrook Hall, Pebble? Or stuffy compared to the local Saturday night "shine 'n show" street rod show?

    Seriously. "Stuffy" compared to what?

    (With apologies to Eddie Harris)...
    Trying to keep it real,

    I agree it is very casual. I went last year and found it very inviting. I love Winter Park
    and think is makes an idea venue for such a show. Slightly more mellow than the
    Celebration Exotic Car Show (which I absolutely loved!). I am looking forward to Saturday!

    Hi John,

    Just to be clear, the show starts Sunday morning around 10.

    There are a couple of events on Saturday, a morning road tour and an evening "jet" party at the Sanford Airport. Those are ticketed events, whereas Sunday's show is free. The street gets pretty crowded, so come early if you can.

    Of course, my plans could change. A-hem.

    It was a great show today, even though the weather wasn't the best. Nice turnout overall and the crowd was pleasant, some cars were just spectacular...

    Here are a few snapshots...

    Very nice event once again. Pity about the rain.

    Great to see everyone. Ran into a lot of old friends including
    Vernon Knoll from Ultimate, Anthony King of FCF, Tim Stanford,
    Bob Tallgren (event founder), Steve Alghrim, Craig Brody and
    Kevin Flankey to name a few.

    Ferrari display was outstanding but curiously no 458.

    Great pictures!! I think this is actually the first year I've missed that show. I'm sure I'll be there next year. Nothing like going into Luma for blueberry martinis and walking around to look at cars. :)
    Well, aside from the good food, I don't think you would've enjoyed much else. Too many girls screaming "Aww" and "Cuuuuuuuuuute" about damn near everything. :D
    Haha...NO! I planned a party for my pregnant BFF. We had about 50 people...pretty wild for something that's typically supposed to be low key, but that's what happens when you have Italians, Colombians, and Dominicans!!! :D

    The show was great, but I had to leave early. I thought there would be more Ferraris. I assume because there was the Sarasota event on Saturday and Festivals of Speed this week, turnout was alittle low. There seems to be an event somewhere every weekend.
    The old Jaguars and other British cars were very impresive.

    the full gallery with a video up on my website if anyone wants to check them out.
