The Winter Park Concours d’Elegance has risen in attendance and notoriety to become one of the most highly-regarded, judged exotic car shows in the United States. Staged in a setting of true elegance, Old Winter Park closes six blocks of Park Avenue to welcome over 120 of the world’s most prestigious automobiles. The tents of event patrons line the tree-shaded avenue showcasing products and services to a walk-in audience of potential buyers. Nationally-recognized and ranked automobile judges – many of whom are world-renowned experts in specialty-marquee automobiles, spend the day carefully examining each show car until a final group of handpicked award winners are determined.

That car show is taking place November 5-6, 2011. For more information visit www.winterparkconcours.com.
