Welcome to the 2004 Indianapolis Concourse D' Elegance

Come be a part of it!  Automobile history, born here in the heartland.

• See The Cars over 100 extraordinarily rare American and European antiques and classics including The Stutz Collection of Turner Woodard, The Royce Collection (Indianapolis), the personal collection of Tim Durham, also Gene Perkins, Greg Dawson and Marlyne Sexton and even some new models including The Chrysler Crossfire and 300M series.

• Enjoy Indianapolis Center City:  The car show will be held in the center of downtown Indianapolis (Monument Circle) free of charge.  Parking and transportation will not be a problem as Indianapolis regularly hosts 3 of the largest single day sporting events in the World--all of which happen to be car races!

• Take a Car Home:  Speedster Motorcars of Clearwater, FL will be donating a 1935 Auburn Speedster (our 2004 featured marque) for auction--proceeds to charity.

• Test-Drive a Rolls Royce

• Enjoy Some Finer things of days gone by:  Wine, Cheese, Martini's, Cigars, Fashion, Art--all out in the town circle.

• Take home a Trophy:  Not the Grand Prix trophy.  But how about a Ferrari laptop computer? ...donated by Acer Computers.  Or one of many other prizes being raffled.

Over Ten Million Dollars worth of the finest cars ever made will be displayed in the center of Indianapolis on Saturday June 20, 2004.  Many them were designed and built right here in Indiana over the past 100 years--Duesenberg, Cord, Marmon, Auburn, Stutz... 

To perfect these fine machines a 2½ mile test-track was built (1908) about 5 miles north of town as a year-round testing facility for the fast-growing automobile industry in Indiana.  3 years later this track became commercialized and hosted the first Indy 500--which was won by an Indianapolis-made car!.  Pictured above is #32 Ray Harroun's Marmon Wasp.  

Today, its the well known Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  Come re-live the history and then experience the state of the art technology at the US Grand Prix on Sunday.  Many of these antiques likely raced on the IMS which is the oldest surviving auto racing track in the world, having existed since 1908. ■

The Concours is primarily a display of antique and classic cars but at Indianapolis will also include an auction of classic automobiles. The concept was created in Paris in the early twentieth century. Concours events came to the US in 1950 starting in Pebble Beach, CA which is still running and extremely popular and successful. There are now similar events across the country.
