When you attend a world class car show, you should expect some drama and excitement. But I am pretty sure that nothing will ever match the excitement when the show cars come through the entrance in back of the Lodge and start to drive on the field at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

The Greenwich Concours d’Elegance celebrated its twentieth anniversary on June 4th and 5th. The event is held in a park bordered on three sides by water and boats of every variety. The show was originated by the Wennerstrom family to benefit the AmeriCares charity, located in nearby Stamford. The charity operates four free clinics in Connecticut for low income uninsured. It is also the leading nonprofit for delivering donated medicine and medical supplies to health programs around the world. Since 1979, it has delivered more than $12 billion in aid to 164 countries. I can scarcely think of a worthier cause. [Read more…] about Greenwich Concours, 2016
