North America's premiere new car show. For anyone into the new car scene, this is the largest and most influential new car show in America. It always takes place at the beginning of January of each year.

This concourse is, in my opinion, the most fun and most user friendly of all the major concourses in the USA. The show takes place in Amelia Island, Florida on the second week of March of each year. This show offers something for everyone from vintage, classic, sports cars, and race cars. The field even includes motorcycles and streetrods. I try not to miss this one.

New York Auto Show

The New York show is not on the scale of the Detroit or LA shows, but it is the biggest and most influential new car show on the east coast. This show takes place in New York City the middle of April.

Spring Carlisle (and many other events at Carlisle Fairgrounds)

Carlisle is an entire fairgrounds dedicated to automotive events from April through October of each year in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The big general flea markets that take place in spring (April) and fall (October) of each year are do- not- miss events if you want to buy parts or cars. Also, don't forget the specialty events such as the all-Ford weekend or the sport and import event.

New Hampshire International Speedway Vintage Celebration

One of my favorite events and still not too crowded to enjoy. This show includes two days of vintage circle track cars racing on the NHIS magic mile, then three days of the vintage sports cars on the road course. Over the weekend, an open car show that draws a large numbers of cars from the New England country side surrounds the track. The weekend finishes off with a concourse including some of the best cars in country.

The Pebble Beach Concourse d’ Elegance

The granddaddy of all concourse in the United States. This event is still the pinnacle of quality and competition for vintage show cars. The event, on the 18th green of the famed Pebble Beach golf course in Monterey, California, is something that every serious vintage car fan should see once in their lives. Mark your calendars for the third week of August every year.

Concorso Italiano

Takes place practically next door to and on the same weekend as the Pebble Beach concourse. This all-Italian car show is an event not to be missed. Everything from classic era Alfa Romeos to brand new Lamborghinis come out in force for what is undoubtedly the top Italian car show in the United States.

Monterey Historic Races

Another event on the crowded Pebble Beach weekend also located in the picture perfect Monterey Peninsula. If you love racing, then you will not see another line-up of vintage race cars at speed as you will see here.

Radnor Hunt Club Concours d Elegance

This small, but quality, event takes place in September on the grounds of the Radnor (Pennsylvania) Hunt Club. The lovely horse country is a perfect setting for a small but quality show.

Many Rallies run by Vintage Rallies

Want to drive your 12-cylinder car in a time and distance rally? These folks run the event for you. From their 12-cylinder only Milia Forza to their open event in the Texas Hill country, some the best driving events available can be found at this site.
