Concours d'Elegance
Sunday, November 1
9: 00am - 4:00pm 
The first Sunday of November... the centerpiece of the Motoring Festival... the Concours d'Elegance. One Hundred and Fifty vintage vehicles, many of the finest in the world, will line the fields of Honey Horn, a historic Southern plantation, under the spreading oaks and flowing Spanish Moss characteristic of the South Carolina Lowcountry to compete for the coveted title of 'Best of Show.'
ResortQuest Hilton Head Island offers a full selection of Hilton Head vacation rentals and lodging packages for the Concours d'Elegance event.
Believed to be by many Concours d'Elegance judges, exhibitors and enthusiasts as one of the top four events in the country, Hilton Head Island will celebrate a majestic automotive history with Mercedes-Benz selected as the 2009 Honored Marque. Plus, Hilton Head Island will also feature classes to celebrate Brass Era Cars, Motorcycles, Micro Cars plus the 100-Year Anniversary of the Hudson and so much more!

Selected as the 2009 Honored Marque, the Concours will celebrate the majestic history of Mercedes-Benz. 2008 top honors were presented to a 1928 Packard 4-43 Phaeton owned by Gordon Logan (Georgetown, TX) winning both Best of Show and Most-Outstanding Pre 1945 Car.
There is a registration process for exhibitors displaying in both the Sunday Concours d'Elegance and the two-day Motoring Midway exhibit Saturday & Sunday.
