Wow! What an amazing day!! The beautiful weather led the way at the incredible 41st Annual Colorado Concours d’Elegance and Exotic Sports Car Show! The cars this year were fabulous and every bit as impressive as the crowds that came out to see them.

It takes a great deal of effort to plan and execute a car show of this magnitude and we want to start by thanking the Concours Committee, Judges, Sponsors, Vendors and Volunteers that were integral in making this year’s event a great success!

Special thanks must also go out to all those who registered and displayed their cars, to the joy and excitement of all who attended. The cars this year were second to none, from the earliest Model T’s to the many featured pre-WWII model classics, as well as one-of-a-kind vehicles and sports cars, foreign and domestic, many rarely seen anywhere else! The rarity and volume of beautiful cars at this year’s Colorado Concours had many exclaiming it was our best show ever!!

Thank you also to Ted Parks and the Busted Bones Band who performed throughout the day. Their Country Twang and Rock n’ Roll music filled the field and entertained the crowds as they viewed the more than 400 cars on display.

Lastly, we want to thank the thousands of people who attended this year’s event. Your participation helps support the early education programs of Ability Connection Colorado, helping children and families with disabilities and other challenges thrive and grow! Your support means everything to us!

If you are interested in registering your car, becoming a sponsor or a vendor for our 42nd Colorado Concours, give us a call at 303-691-9339. It’s never too early to begin planning for next year!!

See you next year!!

History of the Colorado Concours d’Elegance & Exotic Sports Car Show

This event was the brain child of two Rocky Mountain Region Porsche Club of America members; Tom Scott and Stim Kennedy. In 1983, these individuals presented the idea for a car show to the Board of Directors of RMR with the idea of making the event a fundraiser for a deserving local charity. In the first two years, 1984 and 1985, the show was part of the “Carousel Days”, a benefit for The Marvin Davis Children’s Diabetes Foundation, and was held in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center parking lot. There were approximately 30 cars on display and the contribution for the charity was about $1,200. In 1986, the charity was changed to Cerebral Palsy of Colorado (name changed to Ability Connection Colorado in 2013) Children’s Program when the Davis Family moved to California. The event was then moved to the University Hills Shopping Center and was there for four or five years. In 1993, the show was moved to the present location, Arapahoe Community College. Now in its 41st year, Colorado Concours has raised over $2.5M for the Creative Options for Early Childhood Education Program at Ability Connection Colorado.
