St. Michaels Concours d'Elegance, Part 2: Postwar Automobiles -- September 2012

The sixth annual St. Michaels Concours d'Elegance was held on Sept. 30, 2012, at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland. About 70 cars were entered from the prewar (1900-1941) and postwar (1946-1962) periods. The museum was the beneficiary of the funds raised by the event. For more information, visit the concours's Web site at http://www.smcde.org/ .

This is Part 2 of my series of three galleries on this wonderful 2012 gathering of exceptional automobiles. Among the postwar cars in this gallery, the most unexpected entry and most delightful surprise for me was the 1961 Triumph Italia 2000 GT by Vignale, owned by Charlene and Dave Hutchison of Quakertown, PA. In this group, it was the only car of which I had never seen an example and whose existence I had not even known about. It is an absolutely gorgeous and "unrecognizable" Italian remake of the TR3A; only 329 units were made.

A welcome treat in 2012 was the visit of PBase friend and Colorado photographer Dan Greenberg, who came to Maryland for The Rodder's Journal Vintage Speed & Custom Car Revival held in Baltimore Sept. 28-30. I invited him to join me and another friend at the St. Michaels Concours on the 30th and he came, which is fortunate for all of us who follow and enjoy his masterful work on PBase. As I expected, Dan's visit to this event has yielded an outstanding gallery of exquisite images: https://pbase.com/dlgphoto/stmichaels12 .

I used a handheld 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.
