Capping off a wild week with the North American International Auto Show<\/a> was an equally car-filled weekend thanks to Hagerty. The classic vehicle insurer<\/a> hosted a few events over the weekend as a part of its move to make the Concours of America<\/a> the Detroit Concours d’Elegance. This includes hosting the events in downtown Detroit, with the concours at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and Cars and Community, a combination of Radwood<\/a> and Concours d’Lemons, at Comerica Park. Each event attracted more than 100 cars, and we’ve assembled photos of a large number of the cars at all these events for you to peruse.<\/p>\n

The headline even was certainly the Detroit Concours, and it attracted some truly phenomenal classic cars<\/a> across a wide spectrum. Showstopping classic concepts such as the Buick<\/a> Y-Job, General Motors LeSabre<\/a>, Ford Mustang<\/a> I and Chrysler Turbine Car<\/a> all made appearances. There were sections for classic hot rods and mid-century customs such as the Dodge<\/a> Deora pickup truck<\/a>. And of course there were other pre-war and post-war classics from America and Europe. The overall winner of the show was a 1937 Delahaye 135 roadster, pictured below.<\/p>\n

The day before the Concours was Cars and Community. On one side of the Comerica Park parking lot was a smaller-scale Radwood event for all kinds of cars from the 1980s and 1990s. Entrants ranged from humble Ford Escort<\/a> GTs to poster cars such as the Lamborghini<\/a> Countach and Ferrari<\/a> Testarossa. There were even some Japanese-market imports such as a Nissan<\/a> Serena and Mitsubishi<\/a> Pajero Mini.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Even more oddballs appeared in the Concours d’Lemons on the other side of the lot. While the name would suggest only bad cars, it’s become a catch-all for unusual cars of all sorts. So there were classic maligned machines such as the Ford<\/a> Pinto and Chevy<\/a> Vega, but some seriously fascinating cars such as an International Scout camper and a pair of Japanese kei sports cars<\/a>: an Autozam AZ-1 and Suzuki<\/a> Cappuccino.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
