Day 2 at the New England Concours d’Elegance saw cruise-in participants show up in droves to Stratton Mountain’s upper parking areas. Classic cars including Chrysler Letter Series, Porsche 911’s, MG’s, and many rare cars were on display. Cars were parked on top of the main parking garage and food was catered by Stratton. Chairs were folded out behind the cars and owners and spectators exchanged stories and information on cars of all makes and models. Each car has a story and all owners at cruise-in events are proud to display dossiers and discuss how and where they found their cars, and how and when they were restored or preserved in great condition.

The Second Annual New England Concours d’Elegance kicked off at noon on Friday, July 18th at Hemmings Motor News’ Headquarters in Bennington, Vermont with a general attendee cruise-in. By 1PM, a smattering of classic American cars, muscle cars, and European classics and sports cars filled the back parking-lot of Hemmings. After viewing and chatting each other up, attendees were invited to lunch mid-day and popcorn at the museum.

At 3pm cruise-in cars lined up for the Green Mountain Rally to go up historic Route 7A through covered bridges from Bennington to Manchester and on to Stratton Mountain where Saturday’s major cruise-in, and Sunday’s Concours were held.

Following are pictures of the cars at the Hemmings headquarters from Day 1 along with a brief video of cars leaving the lot to head out on the rally. Enjoy! (more…)
