“The Art of Automotive Design” has been chosen as the theme for the next Arizona Concours d’Elegance, set for Jan. 21, 2024, at the newly renovated Scottsdale Civic Center, 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd., where an array of 100 rare and historic automobiles will be displayed.
The sixth edition of the Arizona Concours, and the second year at the Scottsdale locale, the event will focus on the art of coachbuilding and car design, shown in the luxury atmosphere of a stylish garden party.
“We are excited about our continued partnership with Arizona Concours d’Elegance,” said Dr. Gerd Wuestemann, president and CEO of Scottsdale Arts. “This prestigious event presents automotive art in a beautiful setting. Scottsdale Arts is a leader in all things art and culture in Arizona, and the 2024 Concours is a wonderful event to bring to our community.”
The Concours is a professionally judged and curated assembly of rarely seen dream cars and collector vehicles. The Best of Show winner for the 2023 event, a 1947 Talbot-Lago T26 Record Cabriolet with a body designed by Giuseppe Figoni, exemplified the automobiles seen at the Arizona Concours.
The judged vehicles range from antiques from the dawn of motoring through pre-war classics, sports and competition cars and modern-day exotics.
Previously held at the Arizona Biltmore Resort in Phoenix, the Arizona Concours at Scottsdale Civic Center is presented in partnership with Scottsdale Arts, the nonprofit organization responsible for multidisciplinary artistic services in the city. Proceeds from the event benefit local artists and the arts community.
“We are delighted to be back at the wonderful Scottsdale Civic Center and look forward to presenting a field of automobiles that truly exhibit ‘The Art of Automotive Design,’” said Chuck Stanford Jr., who co-chairs the Concours along with Ed Winkler. “The 2024 Arizona Concours field will showcase some of the world’s rarest and most-dramatic cars – designs that people rarely have the opportunity to see in person.”
