Welcome to the Auburn Concours d’Elegance, where we honor the best of the best with recognition, reverence and respect. The Concours strives to provide an elite venue for car collectors and enthusiasts alike to display their hard work and passion for the public to enjoy. Located on the show grounds of the National Military History Center in Auburn, Indiana, the Concours d’Elegance is a wonderful opportunity to bring all types of auto admirers together in one arena to witness the most premier vehicles of the area. And with Auburn’s rich heritage of automotive history, this classic car capitol of the world is the perfect place to display your winning vehicle.

As a fundraising event, the Concours supports the Turnstone Center for Children and Adults with Disabilities. This is a chance for you to contribute to our local community in a way that truly benefits those in need. Any additional donations are welcome, and are greatly appreciated.

This year’s Honorary Chairman is famed author, adventurer and car collector extraordinaire Clive Cussler. As a noted collector, Cussler owns several notable examples of custom coachwork and 1950’s automobiles, and will be lending his eye and expertise to this year’s event as he chooses his favorite vehicle for the esteemed Honorary Chairman Award.

The Concours hosts several classes of vehicles, ranging from classics to muscle cars, pre-war to post-war, antique to modern. No matter your vehicle, we have a class! Vehicles may be for display only or entered for judging, allowing you the chance to win one of our esteemed “Best of Class” awards, or one of a number of other specialty awards. No matter your decision, your vehicle will shine in this exclusive group.

This year will feature Celebrity Vehicles, and we are still welcoming more entrants. Celebrity guest Andy Granatelli will be on site to assist in the judging, as well as choose the featured vehicle award winner. Does your car have a special attachment to a famed figure? Was it used in a movie? Was it owned by a celebrity or public figure? Enter it today and share your story! Every vehicle has a tale which we strive to tell.

Entrants will receive complimentary registration goodie bags, as well as two tickets to the show, a place in our full color brochure, tickets to the Kruse International Labor Day auction and the opportunity of a lifetime to share their work with the public. However, spaces are limited, so visit the registration tab and send in your registration today for your chance to be a part of the most exclusive, elite showing of vehicles in the area!
