Americana Concours

Some pictures from today, what a crazy turnout! One of my favorites was the RS4.0 parked up in the spectator's lot

Likewise - wish I had seen you!

I heard there was an NSX convertible in the "spectator" lot. Anyone spot that?

 

I saw nsx cab drive by. Looked like a leaky mess. Sorry but no good

 

Great show, 2 918's (1 in parking lot, 1 at Porsche Roslyn- along with CGT & 4S Targa) couple Aston Martin One-77's, not 1 but 2 Pagani's, Veyron "Black Bess", Saleen S7, too many Lambo's to count (incl. chrome Team Salamone), JimGlick's P3/4 (gorgeous), Muira, Pantera, Auburn 851 Supercharged boat-tail Speedster, etc.,

"...parking is absolutely horrible" no kidding, get there earlier (or later when people start leaving). This is a Greenwich Concours ($30) quality show (except far fewer classics) for FREE!!!

 

"Black GTO" was me. Really nero setoso. Nice pics. Crazy amount of cool rides. Agree with others that the parking is just extremely poor. I'd rather pay $30 or even a $100 and have "VIP" parking so you don't have to worry about parking a $500K F car next to a ****box. Easy answer is to just register your car to participate, but then its a whole day event (assuming arguendo that my car was even accepted to participate).

 

anyone got good pic of the full size, monster Hummer H1 (very cool, decked out, dark grey krinkle paint) parked about 6 inches from red 458 (white/blue nart stripe) Speciale? in the parking lot?

 

Lots of great cars as mentioned above, but no one has mentioned the beautiful and immaculate F40.

We got there early and parked in the lot behind the Apple store. We left by driving through the adjoining neighborhood, which was also full of cars parked for the Concours.

 

F40? Coming right up!

I saw it hunting for a spot. As noted by someone else, the top looked pretty bootleg.

 

I saw the NSX parked in the rear lot. I didn't walk over for a close look because it looked its age.

 

While we are taking requests any pictures of the Seleen?

 

Im looking for pictures of the 275 next to the f40. Pictures of that and pictures of it with the f40. Thanks

 

It was tough to get combo pics yesterday, at least by time I got there. I'm not even remotely professional, but I wanted to get the row of Ferraris, the pair of Paganis and the 918/CGT combos, but it just didn't happen; same with the F40/275. This is the best I could do:

was that your 512tr that won?

 

I had a great time! This was my first time to this show and I enjoyed seeing many friends I met here thru F-chat and other shows. The crowd was pretty decent except for the 2 parents who thought it was cool to open my car door and put their kid in without asking. Funny thing is I never said no to anyone who asked to sit in my car and take pics.

Overall I thought it was the best show I've been to this year. And the free hospitality was very nice!!

 

Yes! Best Ferrari in show!
Would anyone have any pics of my car driving up to the award area
Was by myself , no one to take pics but me.
Next time i'll bring a drone!

 

Although most gearheads will love the exotica, my favorite car of all which was entered is the 1937 Chrysler Sedanca de Ville. It seems Walter P. Chrysler had this car custom built as a present to his wife. If one carefully studied the very, very meticulous restoration he would recognize the soft foot pillows, the deco treatment of the styling, flip down picnic trays, places for a woman's vanities, etc, etc. All done tastefully in the Sedanca de Ville configuration. Certainly it was a hard car to beat.....kudos to whoever restored this one...it was the star of the show...

PS I actually sat in the "918", loved it almost as much! [smile]

Congratulations Michael!!!!

 

I have a couple of shots of the Saleen – inside and part of the outside. It was parked next to that "Time Machine" Delorean. No Flux Capacitor was installed, that I could see.

Also have a pano shot in between the 275 and F40.

Then there was a different NSX in the lot, which looked really nice.

And a couple more shots of the 512TR.

I spoke with this guy..He lost his entire car collection on Staten island 18 months ago , from Hurricane Sandy.
He got a pay out from Insurance and bought the F40 for $600,000.00
he's been offered 1.4 recently..
The Miura was his too.

Funny how fate works.
