Murphys, CA…The Ironstone Concours d’Elegance is an antique and classic car show held each September at Ironstone Vineyards near Murphys, California. Some 300+ antique and classic cars participate. The event also features vintage trailers, housecars, antique trucks and motorcycles, race cars and wooden boats. Honored guests from the old-car hobby and the auto industry regularly participate.
Concours weekend is our favorite weekend of the year with the hundreds of historic vehicles sprinkled throughout the area it makes even our normally picturesque area look even better. It was the first event we covered for The Pine Tree in 2005 and since 2006 we have tried to take a photo of every vehicle on the lawn when we attend.
This year there are over 400 photos of the entrants on the lawn and the winners as they crossed the stage to get their awards. We also have full HD video of the entire awards ceremony and a few minutes of footage on the grounds and of the historic race cars in the field.
We try to make our Ironstone Concours coverage a rolling archive of the event.
Below is a high resolution slideshow of every entrant. You can also watch this full screen and it will automatically move through all 400 photos.
Featured vehicle marques vary from year to year—such names as Packard, Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, BMW, Corvette, Studebaker, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Special classes spotlight early Fords, streamlined cars, sports cars, exotics, race cars, coachbuilt luxury marques plus significant unrestored and original automobiles.
The Ironstone Concours d’Elegance weekend begins with a Friday evening Cars & Stars wine tasting, dinner and auction. The concours itself takes place on Saturday, climaxed by an awards ceremony. Class winners drive onto the Ironstone Amphitheatre stage to receive their trophies. Among regular participants are Reno’s National Auto Museum, the California Automotive Museum in Sacramento, the Blackhawk Museum in Dublin and San Francisco’s Academy of Art University auto collection.
Proceeds from the Ironstone Concours d’Elegance benefit Central and Northern California youth in agriculture, notably Future Farmers of America (FFA) and 4-H. In addition, the non-profit Ironstone Foundation has helped fund the California State FFA headquarters in Galt California; scholarships in partnership with the California State Fair; and the Calaveras County Fair scholarship program.
