St. Michaels Concours d'Elegance, Part 1: Prewar Automobiles -- September 2012

This is Part 1 of my series of three galleries on the sixth annual St. Michaels Concours d'Elegance 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. Automobiles from the prewar years are the subject of this gallery, plus a 1948 Delahaye. 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/ .

Among the prewar cars in this gallery, the most delightful surprise for me was the 1935 Amilcar Pegase Grand Prix Roadster by Figoni, owned by Malcolm S. Pray, Jr., of Greenwich, CT. As the honorary chairman of this year's concours, Pray brought along six gorgeous cars from his fabulous collection. (Update: Unfortunately, Malcolm Pray passed away in August 2013.)

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 outstanding work on PBase. As I expected, Dan's visit to this event has yielded an awesome gallery of gorgeous images: https://pbase.com/dlgphoto/stmichaels12 .

To shoot my own photos for this gallery, I used a handheld Nikon D300 with an 18-200mm Nikkor VR zoom lens 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.

A rich collection of really beautiful vintage cars.

This was a wonderful event filled with amazing cars on a perfect day. What made it even more special is experiencing the whole thing, including the ride there and back, with such excellent and entertaining company - you and Pete. I am so glad you have photographed the whole event as thoroughly and well as you always do. Wonderful job. ~BV~
