The 6th annual St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance has been set for September 30 along the waterfront of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) in St. Michaels, MD. This year’s event features coachbuilt automobiles, along with other significant, award-winning motorcars from the Golden Age of Motoring (1900-1942), as well as a unique collection of automobiles from the post-war sports and racing era from 1948 through 1962. A collection of classic wooden speedboats from the same era will also be on display along the museum’s docks.
The Concours kicks off with a participant welcome reception on Friday, September 28 at CBMM, followed by a motor tour on Saturday, September 29. The round-trip motor tour begins at the Inn at Perry Cabin and travels to the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, before returning to St. Michaels.
