The award-winning Keeneland Concours d’Elegance, now in its 5th year, brings horsepower of a different nature to the Bluegrass state as 100 of the most rare and spectacular automobiles roll onto the grounds of Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky on Saturday, July 19, 2008, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Plan to attend this year’s show as we feature the Cadillac with a special display of historically significant automobiles from the General Motors Heritage Museum. In addition to the 100 judged Concours automobiles, the Concours will host hundreds of cars in the Car Club Paddock and cars of special interest all parked in a specially designated area on the show grounds. Last year, over 600 cars participated in the Paddock making it a “show within a show” and a popular destination for spectators. Add special guests, renowned automotive artists, regional food and music, and you have a day that everyone can enjoy!

While the highlight of the weekend is the Concours d’Elegance, other events during the four-day event includes a private Bourbon tour of Maker’s Mark with the master distiller on Thursday, July 17; a “Great Gatsby” themed black-tie party in the private dining rooms of Keeneland Race Course overlooking the track and paddock area on Friday, July 18; and a 75-mile tour through the Bluegrass with stops at a legendary horse farm and Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill on Sunday, July 20.
