Hilton Head Real Estate Blog

There is no denying that we Americans have a special type of love affair with our cars.   The first weekend in November will offer the opportunity to express that affection in grand fashion at the 6^th annual Concours d’ Elegance & Motoring Festival held at Honey Horn Plantation on Hilton Head November 1–4. 

This years honored marque (the stars of the show,so to speak) is the Cadillac/Laslle nameplate.  But classic and contemporary car manufacturers from around the world will be featured throughout the weekend.  The Concours d’ Elegance is a very special event honoring the historic automobiles and their builders from around the globe.  The history of the event dates back to the early 1900s in Paris where cars were paired with the newest fashions of the day.  Decades later, the event emerged in the U.S. when organizers in Pebble Beach, Ca put their signature on the event with showcasing the classic cars of America.  The Hilton Head Concours is considered one of the elite four among dozens other national events sharing the same name, and many consider the Hilton Head Concours to be the Grand Finale of the season.  

A few of the special features of this years Concours d’ Elegance:

• Car Club Jamboree
• Auction
• Vintage Race
• Quest for Speed and Style
• Fashion Show
• Children’s Activities
• Artist Exhibition

As well this year’s event will feature, for the first time, an antique motorcycle exhibition.

A local blog has been created to provide information about the event and to allow others to share in the excitement about the Hilton Head Concours.  For someone who enjoys cars, this is a must see.  Just one more wonderful attraction available to area residents and visitors, alike.
