Keeneland
Concours d'Elegance

Lexington, Kentucky
 

The Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken picnic display was really cool. The spread was behind a White '55/'56 Thunderbird. Everything in the display was vintage, of the era and well thought out... This picnic was definitely a work of art. Look real close at the Chicken Bucket, those are some Big @#$%* Ants getting ready to help themselves to some KFC

Keeneland had quite a bit of Horse Power again this year some of it could be found in the "American Performance 1956-1979" Class and some of it from the Beautiful Team of Horses from Wells Fargo,  a Keeneland Concours sponsor

The European "Mini"-Cars always draw a "Big" gathering of curious admirers. There were about 8-9 cars in the "Micro-Mini Car" Class this year, several of them being owned by the Lane Motor Museum located in Nashville, Tennessee. Lane Motor Museum is not your typical Car Museum. They have over 150 very unique automobiles and motorcycles in their Collection

"Paddock Parking" at the Keeneland Concours is rather unique and is not found at all Concours events, at least not the ones that I have attended. I personally love the idea and so do the Hundreds of other Specialty Car owners and Car Clubs that gather in the Paddock each year. There is a $5 charge to park in the Paddock but it is well worth it. Specialty Parking actually creates a secondary Car Show and it adds a great deal to the Keeneland Concours venue. With Mustang being the feature Marque the Paddock had reserved a large area for Owners and Mustang Club parking. There were Hundreds of Mustangs that made the trip to Lexington, Ky
