Breaking new ground on the historic grounds of the Fort McPherson
army base at Tyler Perry Studios, the
recent Atlanta Concours d'Elegance boasted a field of cars and
categories as diverse as the several thousand attendees that enjoyed the
two-day event. Distinguished celebrities
including global icon and entertainer Vanessa
Williams, daughters of the ‘Godfather of Soul’ James Brown and American
financial literacy entrepreneur John Hope Bryant, all played a role in
honoring the cars and individuals that continue to foster legacies throughout
the decades.
According to Bill Wallet, CEO and co-chairman of the Atlanta
Concours d’Elegance, “Atlanta has always played a huge role in our nation’s
history and culture. Our event set out
to honor this city’s diverse and prolific community and bring together an
honorable and exciting blend of past and present, with diversity at the
forefront."
While the event itself was in its fourth year, the notable program
held a series of firsts, including an historic showing of ‘Cars of Iconic Black Americans’ – a
grouping that was a true first for any major concours event category and
included vehicles shown together that were once owned by the likes of Lena
Horne, James Brown, Sammy Davis, Jr., Reggie Jackson and even Tyler Perry’s own
famed character ‘Madea.’ Two very
special vintage vehicles – 1937 Packard
1507 Twelve Coupe Roadster (owned by Stephen Plaster of Lebanon, MO) and 1954
Mercedes Benz 300 SL (owned by Mark Richey of Commerce, GA) – accepted ‘Best of Show’ honors in the American and European Classes.
A stormy Saturday didn't keep this automotive
enthusiast away. The rain added to the
romantic mood of decades past. Sunday's sunshine lit the sophistication of
the event's finale, perfectly.
My sincerest appreciation to Deb Pollack and the Atlanta Concours d'Elegance team for a fabulous event!
