2023 Forest Grove Concourse d’Elegance


Recommended Posts

I attended the Forest Grove show today. And I took pictures for all of you, for putting up with me, the custom car guy on here. Lots of cool cars, think  I got a picture of every one. Skipped a couple of new cars on display. Will start posting pictures tonight. Here is a couple to start with. Let’s see how good you guys are. What car is in these pictures?

Nice photo assemblage Xander. For the benefit of our francophone friends, please amend title to Concours, a french word for competition. BTW, Concours d'Elegance is a term of French origin that means a "competition of elegance" and refers to an event where prestigious vehicles are displayed and judged. I suspect it is used too often for events where "prestigious" may not apply to many of the vehicles shown, but this event seems to have some wonderful vehicles. Would it have been a "by invitation only" event?

You send in pictures of your car, and they pick from the entries. Only so many cars are allowed. A mix of different types. It is a nice show, the Forest Grove University is a nice setting to host the show. We had a Packard in the show years ago.
