The Greenwich Concours d’Elegance 2010 was held Saturday, June 5th and Sunday, June 6th at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The Greenwich Concours d’Elegance not only staged over two days, but it is actually two Concours, back-to-back. Saturday’s Concours Americana is exclusively for American makes, while Sunday’s Concours International is exclusively for imported marques.Collectively more than 300 American and foreign cars were exhibited, including many of the pre-WWI brass-era, the grand classics of the late 1920s and ’30s, and such storied marques as Rolls-Royce, Marmon, Pierce Arrow, Lagonda, Cord, Auburn, Packard, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati; and post-WWII cars with big fins, and outsized engines.
Best of Show Americana went to the 1938 Lincoln K-12 Convertible Sedan of the Marano Collection, while Best of Show International was awarded to the 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental of Frank E. Ricciardelli.
Hey, is image #19 the Ferrari Daytona that Wayne Carini restored and covered in last season’s Chasing Classic Cars? I seem to recall the owner was a guy who made a fortune in quick printing before getting into car dealerships…and who was the car’s 3rd owner and its 1st owner — he had been involved in a very serious accident with it the first time around years ago.
Good eyes. We do believe that you’re correct in identifying the Daytona from Chasing Classic Cars. Didn’t it win Platinum at Cavallino?
The Ferrari Daytona Spyder owner is Mr. Herb Chambers,self made billionare, founder of A-Copy Company (the license plate of this particular car is A-Copy). He was not the 1st owner but the second one, when he had the accident. This car is one of two known Ferrari Daytona with this color. Mr Chambers owns a Ferrari Daytona coupe with the same color. This makes him probably the only person in the world who owns two of the rarest Ferraris with this particular color. And, yes, it won platinum at Cavallino (> 95 points).
