Louisville Concours D' Elegance
Presented by Rolls-Royce

Churchill Downs
Louisville, Kentucky

Known for it's Twin Spires and the Most Exciting Moments in Thoroughbred Horse Racing, Churchill Downs is much more than The Kentucky Derby. For the past 135 years, Churchill Downs has hosted many other events that have drawn the Louisville community together. The Louisville Concours D' Elegance is one of those events. This is the 3rd year that the Concours has been held on these Historical Grounds. The proceeds from the Concours benefit the Brooklawn Child and Learning Services. Thanks to the Concours Founder, Robert Davenport and his Executive Committee, the children of Brooklawn are the Winners

Rolls Royce not only was the Presenting Sponsor for this years Concours Event, but was also selected to be the Featured Marque. So as you can imagine, many Beautiful examples of Rolls Royce Automobiles were displayed by their proud owners. If you tired of looking at RR Car's (if that is even possible), Rolls Royce provided a courtesy tent with leather sofa's and complimentary refreshments. Samples of the Woods and Leathers that are currently available on Rolls Royce Automobiles were prominently displayed within the tent

I have been to several Concours Events this year and I must say that Alfa Romeo's have been catching my eye. For one reason, the Marque celebrated it's 100th Anniversary this year and has been honored at many of the shows I have attended. Another reason is that the early cars are just Beautiful Automobiles. This particular Alfa is Absolutely Breath Taking. Obviously I was not the only one so taken with this car because it received this years Best of Show Award. This 1936 Alfa Romeo belongs to Mr. Ray Scherr. He brought his Beautiful car from Westlake Village California. It is a 1936 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Touring Spider.
