Highlights from the 10th Annual Hemmings Motor News Concours D’Elegance
It was a beautiful day for another beautiful Hemmings Concours D'Elegance in Saratoga Springs, New York last Sunday. The 1963 Mustang III Concept Car once again drew crowds and was awarded third place in the very competitive 16-car American Postwar class.
Congrats to Hemmings for a wonderful show enjoyed by spectators and the 160 participants.
Enjoy,
Howard Kroplick
The Mustang III was again a real crowd-pleaser.

Comments
We love the shows at SAM. Have attended many but we were/are in Warsaw, Poland visiting the kids so this SAM / Hemmings show was one we had to miss. Congrats on the 3rd place!
Looks like it was as much fun as last year Howard. Sorry I missed it this year. The “Cruise to the Show” in East Meadow wasn’t nearly as good as the Hemmings event. Hopefully I’ll get up there next year. Congrats on your win!

From Howard Kroplick
Hemmings does a great job! Very well-run concours and lots of fun.
Congratulations on your win Howard! Long island was represented well at the Hemmings Concours, and fellow Classic Car Club of America members Jerry Beard of Massapequa had his 1937 Lincoln V12 convertible victoria with body by Brunn there, and Joe Cannazzario of Seaford had his 1934 Lincoln V12 roadster with body by Dietrich there as well.
All nice, but the Studebaker is stunning!
Love that Riviera!
