Some of the cars that won awards in the first Santa Fe Concorso, held in 2010, made an encore appearance in the second Concorso held on Sept. 25, 2011. Having missed the inaugural event, I welcomed the opportunity to examine and photograph some of last year's winning entries. Here they are, along with a 1970s Ferrari 512 BB that took part in the Mountain Tour of the 2011 event. Most title and caption information came from cards displayed with the cars. Background details about some of the cars can be seen when the photos are enlarged and viewed individually.

In 2010, the "Best of Show" award went to Ralph Lauren's 1955 Jaguar XKD, which won "Best in Class -- Specialty and Race Cars Class 2." For a complete list of 2010 awardees, visit this Web page: http://santafeconcorso.com/archive/winners.html . Sir Stirling Moss, Al Unser, Sr., and Denise McCluggage were among those who served as judges.

This is the first of my three galleries on the 2011 Santa Fe Concorso. For more information on this New Mexico car show, visit its Web site at http://santafeconcorso.com .

I used a Nikon D300 with an 18-200mm Nikkor VR zoom lens to shoot the photos in this gallery. Note that the images and other content here are protected by copyright laws. All rights are reserved. Unauthorized use, copying, printing or direct linking is prohibited.
