Dear Subcriber
The 2010 Fairfield County Concours d'Elegance announces a new relationship with Bonhams Auction.
This marks the first time the Fairfield County Concours has aligned with an auction partner in its seven-year history, further establishing it as one of the preeminent automotive events in the nation.
Bonhams' one-day auction will take place on Sept. 12. A preview will be held on Saturday, Sept. 11 on the grounds of the Fairfield County Hunt Club in Westport, Conn., and exceptional consignments are to be expected. Tickets for the auction and preview reception are available from Bonhams.
"As a market leader in collectible motor cars, Bonhams was an obvious choice for us. We are honored to have them on board," said Bill Scheffler, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Fairfield County Concours d'Elegance.
"Bonhams has a long tradition of associating itself with the car collector world's most prominent events and we are delighted to move our popular Vintage New England fall auction to the Fairfield County Concours in 2010 as part of our continuing expansion in America," said Rupert Banner of the International Motoring Dept at Bonhams.
 "Bonhams fall auctions in recent years have included the sell-out $7.5 million Richard C. Paine Collection auction and sales of property from the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. We anticipate offering the finest pre- and post- war automobiles at this popular and growing concours event, with entries already including a 'time-warp' two owner from new 1916 Packard Twin Six Seven Passenger Touring." |
