Auto Enthusiasts Show Their Stuff at the 9th Scarsdale Concours

Almost 130 vintage and exotic cars were on display in Scarsdale Village for the ninth annual Scarsdale Concours d’Elegance on Sunday October 14th. Lead by SHS students Ben Hasson and Sam Fried the event was a hit. Beautiful weather brought residents out to view a dazzling array of wheeled vehicles including a Brewster from the early 1900’s, a submarine and an old fashioned good humor truck. There were Fiat’s old and new – including the Fiat Spider my husband drove in college – as well as Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Packards, Porshes, Alfa Romeos and Mercedes-Benz.

Folk rock band The Traveling Jewbury's were also on hand to serenade the crowd with guitars, vocals and a washboard.

The day ended with the awards ceremony and Pat and Frank Wismer of Stratford, CT won Best in Show. Their wood panelled Brewster was one of 473 cars manufactured between 1911 and 1925 by a former carriage maker. Today their car is one of the 24 remaining Brewsters. The Wisners were in Scarsdale as part of a 10 day trip and report that the car can go up to 42 mph!

Proceeds from the day were donated to White Plains Hospital, the Wounded Warriors via the Scarsdale PBA and Scarsdale and Edgemont Family Counseling Service.
