More than 150 of the finest vintage automobiles in the U.S. converged upon LeMay \u2013 America\u2019s Car Museum (ACM) September 6\u20137 for the annual Pacific Northwest Concours d\u2019Elegance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Pacific Northwest Concours has become one of the premier events of its kind in the U.S. since its founding 12 years ago as the Kirkland Concours,\u201d said David Madeira, president of ACM. \u201cWith ACM being the largest car museum in North America, sitting on a 3.5-acre show field, we\u2019re delighted to host an event of such grand scale.\u201d Featured classes for the concours included early and significant BMWs and Ford Mustangs, as well as flathead hot rods, \u201cAmerican tail fins,\u201d pre-WWII classics, pre-1920 Brass Era cars and others. After judges scrutinized rows of cars on ACM\u2019s Haub Family Show Field, a 1928 Isotta Fraschini Tipo SASS, owned by Peter Boyle of Covington, Ohio, emerged as \u201cBest of Show.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis Isotta is among the best of its breed,\u201d said Madeira. \u201cGiven the stiff competition, we recognize how well-earned this award is.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the weekend, ACM presented its annual \u201cMaster Collector Award\u201d on Peter Hageman, Al McEwan and Glenn Mounger\u2014all renowned members of the international
\nvintage vehicle collector community. In conjunction with the award, the museum opened a year-long exhibit in their honor featuring vehicles from their collections, including a 1926 Packard Model 236 Phaeton, 1930 Hispano Suiza H6C d’Ieteren Freres Transformable and 1932 Packard 903 Super Eight, formerly owned by famous Navy aviator Rear Admiral Richard Byrd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
