introduction / Table of Contents It’s Show-Off Time elcome to our second annual Insider’s Guide to Con- Wcours d’Elegance. It provides a comprehensive road- map to the significant 2015 concours in the United States. At their heart, concours are simply car shows that have a more formal organization than a show-and-shine. But whether at Amelia Island or a local cars and coffee, any gathering of enthusiasts and their cars is really a celebra- tion of great design, innovative engineering and meticulous preparation. Car show or concours, at their core both are about the same thing: a love of the automobile. One of the hallmarks of a top-flight concours is the way the classes are curated and displayed. There will be a logic that links one class to the next, and the overall vision of the event will be clear. I especially enjoy seeing a class that has multiple examples of the same model. Look- ing at several of the same cars — from the Ferrari 250 TRs at Pebble to the Datsun 240Zs at Forest Grove — and noticing how each has become different over the years — is like being involved in an archaeological dig. Enjoy this guide, and let it help you create dreams for new adventures. Make your plans now to attend shows you are familiar with — and some that are new to you. Adventure awaits. — Keith Martin ■
