DAC Car Club members attended the 2nd annual Detroit Concours at the DIA sponsored by Hagerty insurance. The September 22-23 Concours weekend featured great weather and good participation by fans of some of the best classic collector cars in America!
The Detroit Concours is a celebration of the Motor City and the automotive culture that defines it. That’s why, for 2023, Hagerty was proud to honor the people who put the world on wheels: Detroit’s automotive industry employees across all time. Our celebration features an unveiling of custom artwork made up of photos submitted from those in the industry, and a special Concours d’Elegance class, Powered by Detroit, that showcased manufacturer-owned heritage vehicles. Some 150 vehicles were on display!
Plus, this year’s event also welcomed Ed Welburn, a 44-year veteran of General Motors’ design team, as Chief Judge.
North American International Auto Show. The DAC Car Club was asked to participate by the DADA and NAIAS with member vehicle displays and a VIP area exclusively for DAC Car Club members. DAC Car Club members also participated in the Grande Castor Cigar night on Wednesday with access to the show and cigars and cocktails in a special area outside of the Huntington Center.
