TRAVERSE
CITY, Mich., April 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Greenwich Concours
d'Elegance, an annual enthusiast motoring event, features a
meticulously curated selection of vehicles, embodying the pinnacle
of automotive design and engineering from May 31st to June 2nd in Greenwich, Connecticut. Showcasing rare
classics, iconic sports cars, attendees are invited to enjoy an
elegant and immersive experience celebrating automotive
history.
Known for his modernist masterpieces, contemporary architect,
professor and car enthusiast Steven
Harris will be celebrated as Grand Marshal of the Greenwich
Concours d'Elegance. Harris is a Professor at Yale School of Architecture, where he's taught for
25 years, and previously served as a professor at Harvard and Princeton.
As founding partner of Steven Harris Architects, he has led an
extensive range of residential, industrial and commercial projects
in the US and abroad, including luxury design for Barney's and
Dolce and Gabbana. Harris is known for his obsession with Porsches,
particularly Four Cam 356 Carreras and 911 RS's. Recently, his 911
RS's took the spotlight at Lime Rock Park, further solidifying his
legacy in both architecture and automotive circles.
"It is truly an honor to be chosen as Grand Marshal of the
Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, which brings my passion for design
and automobiles together in one place," said Steven Harris. "This event is a testament to the
timeless appeal of automotive craftsmanship, particularly in the
Northeast region, and I look forward to celebrating alongside
fellow enthusiasts. I've been attending the Concours for 10 years
and return each year for the world-class lineup of cars and
friendly atmosphere."
Festivities commence with a scenic tour through the best roads
of the region. The tour, spanning four hours, includes a gourmet
lunch stop and a visit to a distinguished private car collection,
beginning at a historic Greenwich
landmark and traversing Connecticut's scenic backroads.
"Greenwich Concours is where the collector car community gathers
in the Northeast," said Vice Chairman, Concours Group Matt Orendac.
"With such a rich pool of collections to choose from, and its
relaxed, coastal ambiance, Greenwich is one of just a few places around
the globe perfectly suited to Concours events. The expansion of
Saturday's Concours de Sport also opens the Concours world to a new
audience."
In addition to the captivating vehicle displays, the event
offers enriching seminars with the latest developments and trends
shaping the automotive industry, exciting driving opportunities,
and access to industry leaders and legends. Featured classes will
celebrate the vehicles that shaped the car community in the
Northeast. Among classes on display will be:
