I would suggest those coming to the Concours, make a reservation and hit the Brumos Collection, definitely worth the visit.

Have never been to the Concourse before. As it gets closer let’s find a place to meet, have lunch or whatever.

This will only be my third consecutive year, but prices seem to have gone up every year since Hagerty took over in 2022.

I've done plating and anodizing for a car being shown at the concours. Does anyone know what date that car has to be on the grass? Also have to go to Orlando and want to plan the trip.

I would surmise Sunday morning. If you go on Saturday, one of the great to-do’s is going to the Ritz parking garage and seeing many of Sunday’s cars sitting in a spot, just like you would park your daily driver.
