Rocky Mountain Concours d' Elegance

First I've heard of it.

Nice Ferraris.

VW buses? Really. ROTFL

What was the cost, etc.? Who puts this on? Is it a charity event?

 

It is $40 at the gate. Here is the website http://www.rmconcours.com/home/index.cfm I know that Mr. Lopez the founder of the magazine Auto Aficionado is one of the Co-Chairman of the event. Thanks MRyan for the pictures, there is some definitely familiar cars in that group.

 

Very cool show, very fine cars and motorcycles, on a spectacular venue, all in my backyard! I wish I had taken a camera, there were some really beautiful pre-war Bugattis there too.

 

Oh, and check out the license plate on the 959!!!

 

Thanks for posting the pics.

Understand that Mercedes was the featured marque and a special tribute was made to Otis Chandler.

Otis and his wife Mitzy lived next door to us when I was a kid. He and his wife were students at Stanford. They were both atheletes. He was a track star. They worked out and lifted weights in the garage and wrestled with their two boxers in the front yard. They had a convertible but it was a long time ago and I was about 6 years old so I have no idea of the make or model. Pretty unremarkable so it must have been an American car LOL.

 

I've heard the story once, PCA meeting in his .......I guess one would call it a garage. By far, the most gorgeous car storage facility I've ever seen. Multiple 356s, 904s, and a few other noteworthy Porsches. I'll try to find out the story from one of the other clubbers in the near future.

 

Also Includes a 906 and 908, the new GT1, 993 Turbo S, 911 Carrera RS, couple of 928s, and yes it is an amazing structure. He is a great guy and a true passionate car guy.

 

I had a lot of fun and took a bunch of pictures, some of which I'll post tomorrow...my wife kept pleading with me for us to stay the night at the Broadmoor but unfortunately I forgot to pack a clean pair of underwear for the show With very little fan fare of this event I think the outcome was tremendous! Hopefully the RMC is around for many years to come.

 

Nice shots. Sick CGT, 959, and GT1!
