Scarsdale Concours

[RADGT]

Well after all these posts I figured I better call the show organizers.... it turns out, the registration is closed as they have already too many cars. The town is not huge and they have filled their allotment. If you have not pre registered and been accepted they will not have a spot for you...much to my dismay.

You can absolutely come, but the visit will be as an observer, not a participant. Stu checked and registration is now closed, they've reached capacity, so come on and say hello, it's a nice show in a nice setting, and they'll even be a few FT's that you've seen before!!!! (and a few other cars that you've not seen too!)

We just had the same kind of show out here at the americana.....its great but parking the car a half mile away then being shuttle bused to the show...im out .....if I was in the town it would have been neat.....gtjoey1314

Its a great little Village with Tudor architecture dating back to the 1800s; and an Arcade of Shops, "Harwood Court" modeled after Picaddily.

Joey, I know the Americana show, been there a few times, didn't go this year as I was committed to the Alpine Invitational, and spent the day at the hospital instead (mother's health issues come first!). You can't compare Scarsdale & Americana. Scarsdale's is really as Kayvan described much more laid back, walk through the Village, beautiful little square, gorgeous cars, not the glitz of the Mall, but a lot of fun, and plenty of parking. In a couple of cases when friends came by, they had to make a pass or two on the side streets before they found a spot, but they always did. It's exotic car safe/approved too, some come and visit, let us show you some "Westchester Hospitality", my treat at either HagenDaz or YogoJoy, your choice!!!!!

Great time today hanging with a number of GT owners, some of whom showed up with their GT's and some who didn't.

Nice time & quick run around lake. Not enough space to get fast cruise but nice views. Will post pics later

 

[RADGT]

Great time... we'll have to plan the drive next time so it includes a rest area/pull off for photos.

The Concourse had a nice turnout with perfect weather.

Its highpoints include six figure Shelbys, Miura, Ferrari 250GT LWB, 300 SL, Daytona, F40, TC12; to filler new cars in center stage from dealers [Escalades, Astons, MB, Bentley, RR].

Its still a work in progress with new management; after 7 years its still has much potential...to get to level of Fairfield or Greenwich Concourses. Unclear if tenure, advertising, tie-ins with magazines, celebrity judge/MC, getting sponsorship from anchor club (PCA, MBCA, FCA), a restoration facility or donated prizes thats would push this to next level. Nevertheless, lots of hard work, dedication, & money for charity raised.

If you West Coast guys have tips on how a Concourse can outgrow local dealers; to recruiting local clubs, to getting great collectors involved, I will pass it on.

4 GTs were in attendance; next yr. it will be 10 (put on calendar), with brews after at my Motor Gallery / Trophy Bar / GT Garage.


Here is a quick slideshow of best
