Interesting, thanks for posting. I was a high school freshman back in 1953 and we lived in Newport when my Dad was attending the Navy War College there. Lots of nice mansions along Cliff Walk.

I forgot to mention that as you drive to Newport, you'll go past the Newport Car Museum (it's not associated with the Audrain Museum). They have 100+ cars on display.

Newport Car Museum | The Art of the Car

The private collection of 100+ automobiles at the Newport Car Museum focuses on eight decades of modern industrial automotive design and celebrates cars as works of art. From the 1950s to the present, separate galleries of Ford/Shelby Cars, Corvettes, World Cars, Fin Cars, Muscle Cars and Mopars...

I've driven past it several times, but unfortunately I still haven't gone in (most of the time I've been towing a trailer).

I need to get down and check out the Newport Museum. AND I need to get down to Audrain's. I've been to some lesser events at the Club on Coddington (watch stuff). AAAANNNNNDDDD I need to register for the 60th ; )

Many thanks for the heads up!

I don't know what happened at Detroit, but Audrain has judging.

Near the top (after the list of classes), there's a section that describes how they do judging.

[...]
Here at the Audrain Concours d’Elegance we follow a variation on what is often called "French" judging. As the Concours and Motor Week are a celebration of the core attributes of Newport itself, "History, Luxury & Sport", our international team of judges look foremost at how each entry exemplify in their own particular way one or more of those attributes.
