Ultimatecarpage.com update (04-24-06)
Under a clear blue sky, the Grand Hotel Villa d'Este hosted the annual Concorso d'Eleganza this past Saturday. First organized in 1929, it is one of the oldest concours d'elegance in the world and as such has a number of unique characteristics. One of these is the restricted access to 'friends of the concours', the entrants and the media. Public were welcome at the Sunday Villa d'Erba show. The number of entered cars was limited to just 49, ranging from 1914 to 1974 in age, all of which were of particular interest. Many were freshly restored or brought out of hiding for the first time in many years. One of the bigger surprises was the Serenissima 308 Jet that had not been seen for forty years and had many of the visitors grabbing their catalogs to figure out what it was. In addition to the historic vehicles there was a class dedicated to modern concept and prototype vehicles. The Ferrari 575 GTZ and Russo Baltique Impression Concept made for two impressive world premiers.
Another tradition is that the public picks the best in show, but in recent years a jury-selected best of show was added. The public voted for an Isotta Fraschini, as they did in 1929, whereas the jury selected an equally stunning Ferrari SuperAmerica. To give you an opportunity to experience the exclusive event we were present with two photographers. Our findings and results can be found in a full report and 200 shot slideshow, which includes at least one shot of every car entered. We were able to shoot many of the cars in detail, so expect many of them to show in future updates.
