The 2015 Columbia River Concours d’Elegance is this weekend, Sunday, August 2, presented by Fort Vancouver National Trust. Over 150 restored, classic vehicles will line the lawns along Officers Row, on the Fort Vancouver site in Vancouver WA. More than a car show, the Concours showcases vehicles whose historical accuracy is as important as their exceptional condition.
Vehicles are entered in forty classes representing virtually all the classic and collectible marques including Jaguar, Bentley, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, Alfa Romeo, Austin Healey, MG, Porsche, Triumph, Cadillac, Corvette, Lincoln, Morgan, and a host of others. There are also classes for race cars and commercial vehicles, all of which means something for everyone with an interest in vintage and classic cars and motorcycles. Awards for Best in Show and Class Winner in each of dozens of classes will be presented, along with several special awards, such as Most Elegant and Best Presentation.
Hours of the event are 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Admission is $12 in advance and $15 on the day of the event. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at columbiariverconcours.com/tickets.
In keeping with a tradition of Concours weekend events, the Fort Vancouver National Trust announces a first-time fundraiser, Moonlight and Motorcars. The 1920s speakeasy-themed gala will be Saturday evening, August 1 at the O. O. Howard House.
