Concours d’Elegance
A concours d’elegance is a show where classic cars are judged on originality, quality and presentation.
What is Concours d’Elegance?
Judges check details down to fasteners and finishes. Concours-quality cars are often transported rather than driven. Many events also have classes for preserved, unrestored cars. Some concours events also include driving tests or tours.
How it works
Cars are scored against the original factory standard and the quality of the work.
Why it matters for your car
Preparing a car for concours can cost a great deal. Over-restoration beyond factory finish can lose points.
