    Why is it ending? Car shows seem to be proliferating right now.

    From a former best of show winner here is his take on the demise of this show.

    "As with a lot of events they run their course. A few years back the event had grown to be too large to hold at Jerry’s home, even though it is an awesome venue. They tried to hold it in an hanger at the airport for a couple of years, but geared more to a fund raiser and not a car show They only selected a couple of cars to be shown. Then added a “Car Show” at the Journal Center parking lot on Sunday. Was not that successful. Then COVID hit that shut things down. They got together and thought they wanted to do one more event at Jerry’s home to go out on their terms."

    Some things just do run their course. Until after Denise McCluggage passed on the Santa Fe Concorso was a fine success, in large part because she had the drawing power to call people like Stirling Moss and others and say "Come to my show".

    Best regards,

    Robert

    Thanks. That means a lot coming from you. Life is better served looking out the windshield, than the rear view mirror.
