The Greenbrier, a luxury Allegheny Mountains resort situated in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, is synonymous with authentic, world-class, southern hospitality. This spring, a new story in The Greenbrier’s extensive automotive history will be written when The Greenbrier Concours d’Elegance (above, Wayne Long photo courtesy of The Greenbriar Concours) takes place on the weekend of May 4-6.
This newest concours in North America will include a wide array of automotive events throughout the 11,000 acres of The Greenbrier and The Greenbrier Sporting Club over the course of the three days as automotive enthusiasts are treated to experiences that should make The Greenbrier Concours d’Elegance one of the most discussed car events of 2018.
“The Greenbrier has a long history with automotive manufacturers and fine car owners, but this will be the first time we’ve had the pleasure of hosting an automotive event of this magnitude,” said Jill Justice, D.O., President, The Greenbrier. “There isn’t a better place to feature some of the finest cars in the world than at The Greenbrier, which has built a tradition of luxury for centuries. We’re incredibly excited to hold the first event of what we expect to be a can’t-miss tradition.”
Among the highlights of the three-day showcase will be The Summit Driving Tour, Car Club Day — which will allow car clubs from throughout North America to display their cars on the showfield — and a Charitable Gala.
The Summit Driving Tour will give drivers the opportunity to explore the scenic West Virginia highways surrounding The Greenbrier, testing the power and precision of their automobiles on the hills and valleys of the Mountain State before ending the drive with lunch at The Summit, one of the most picturesque spots at The Greenbrier Sporting Club.
Saturday’s Car Club Day will allow car enthusiasts to showcase their favorite cars on the Concours Showfield the day before the Concours d’Elegance, and the evening will conclude with a charitable gala benefiting Mountaineer Autism Project and the Antique Automobile Club of America. The weekend’s premier event will be Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance, when approximately 100 of the finest collector cars in the world will be judged and a champion crowned.
“The Greenbrier Concours d’Elegance is going to be different than anything else out there,” said concours director Wayne Long. “It’s a three-day event that will keep all of those involved entertained from start to finish. The Greenbrier is a natural fit for a Concours because of its history, terrain and service, and we can’t wait for the automotive world to experience everything that America’s Resort has to offer.”
