Concours d'Elegance of the Eastern United States -- May 31, 2009

The 20th Concours d'Elegance of the Eastern United States was held on May 31, 2009, on the grounds of Northampton Community College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. About 150 vintage automobiles were entered; most of the award winners are featured in this gallery. Some of the best cars previously appeared on other major U.S. concours, including the three most prestigious ones -- those at Pebble Beach, Amelia Island and Meadow Brook. In fact, the "Best of Show" awardee at this concours also won that coveted honor at the 2008 Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance.

I used a handheld Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 18-200mm VR zoom to shoot the photos that make up this gallery. I resized all of them for online viewing. ...
