A dramatic, cliff-top ocean view; 120 classic vehicles; and high-style fashion and sophistication are some of the hallmarks of the annual Misselwood Concours d’Elegance, held on the grounds of the grand Misselwood Estate at Endicott College in Beverly.
The two-day extravaganza, which benefits student scholarships at Endicott, returns this Saturday and Sunday, July 25 – 26, for an event unlike any other in New England. The weekend opens with the picturesque 70-mile Tour d’Elegance along the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway, followed by a champagne luncheon for all tour participants in celebration of the classic automobiles. Cars will be on display on the Newburyport waterfront from 9:15 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and at the Misselwood Estate from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., both are free to attend. The day will conclude with a New England Clambake Dinner at the Misselwood Estate, for which tickets can be purchased in advance online.
On Sunday, the ocean side property will be filled with approximately 120 concours vehicles, including an unrestored 1914 Ford in remarkable condition. Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz are featured marques for 2015; come see two brands with long histories of automotive excellence and style. Breathtaking views and cars are not the only thing to see. The event includes fashion shows, fancy hat contests, art exhibits, music, and food.
