2009 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance

Unknown

Was invited to show my 49 Comm Conv Bro at the Greenwich Concours last week. Having never been, I have to admit it was a bit intimidating at first as there were some pretty serious cars there, most of which were professionally restored by some heavy hitters with deep pockets. In any case, it was a great time and an incredibly well organized charity event. Bonhams had an auction and there was a very cool 1912 Hudson Model 33 ‘Mile-A-Minute’ Roadster there, which ended up selling for over $100K (with fees). I have to say it was my favorite car they had there. I took a few shots, which did not come out too great, but you get the idea. All in all it was a great day. Weather held out, my car won "most outstanding open car 1947-1953, which felt pretty darn good considering what we were up against. Anyway, see the pics below. Car next to mine was a 53 Buick Skylark Convertible.

Great recognition for all the hard work you put into your car! Congradulations Dennis.

Congradulations Dennis another win over the 53 Buick Skylark Convertable .

The owner of the Buick I'm sure was pissed again. A $200,000 + restoration

loses to a home restoration. I love it!

Dennis,



You shouldn't have been the least intimidated. After all, your car looks great and has something that the others can't match, the Hudson name. Congrats!

Congradulations Dennis. You have a beautiful Hudson convertable. What an honor to win a Concours. Job well done. You must be on cloud nine. Enjoy it. Lee

Sure a beautiful car!

The '12 was at the National Meet in Pontiac.
