Attended this today at the venue which hosts it every year. My favorites were the Jaguar XK120's. Anyway, there were way too many cars to capture but here are some of them.

For those that don't know, the Concours is a prestigious automobile/judging event held annually every year in various parts of the world, featuring some of the most exquisite and rare vehicles known, not to mention some of the finest examples of each. The show actually dates back to the 17th century.

my grandpa used to sell those cars with the doors that slide into the body when they came out at his exotic dealership in new york(jaguars, sls amg gullwing, edsel, panteras, lots of famous and weird cars) think it was fiberglass, he told me a few weeks back that it was a hunk of junk :lawl:

also told me that james dean walked into his dealership and asked for a ride to another dealership to pick up his porsche speedster, he didnt go to movies so he didnt know james dean, he got to drive the speedster with james and i think not long after that is when james died in that speedster, crazy stuff.
this one to be exact

Actually it is, awesome that your grandpa met him.

Looks like the closest one to Jersey might be Hershey, PA. Here's an events calendar if interested.

Yeah, I remember watching Top Gear do stupid stuff all the time with those cars and didn't think anything about the Disney reference until you mentioned it, pretty nifty. I dig the Ford GT40, they really pull together the essence of the image of American Muscle :beer:
