Best In Class: The Making Of A Concours d'Elegance

[@colemanmaguire2106]

I sold my 2002 this past Sunday April 21st 2024 this documentary is much more important and special to me now! Thank you everyone, it was a fantastic and memorable journey.

[@elosogonzalez8739]

Outstanding automobile young man! I know you were disappointed, but you handled yourself with class. That in itself makes you a winner! Keep on movin' on.😊

Fantastic video! Well done!

[@louisb4015]

This event was incredible. Fantastic documentary not just about cars, but about the people too.

[@kevmagill5163]

Great film...the story of Mac and his dad really choked me up...all the stories of a father and son working together on a project hit me in the heart in a warm way...reminding me of my dad and I working on my 1965 MGB I bought with my own money at 15 years old, getting it ready for my 16th birthday and my driver's license...it truly summed up what my love of cars is all about...emotions, memories and passion for all things CAR...❤💯

[@dtreuro7165]

This in undoubtedly my favorite KZbin video of all time! Thank You Very Much

[@radioguy1620]

The Corvair guy was really great.

[@Anthony-lw7qf]

This documentary truly captures the essence of what it means to be a car enthusiast. The stories and the history, all mesh and come together under one spectacular event. Cinematography is excellent too. Can't wait for the 2021 Concours!! Such a unique event to see on the east coast!

[@ulrichdr.bockmann1704]

This is best of show. It touches the soul of an old „luftgekühlt“ Porsche enthusiast from Munich Germany !

[@scyclone1138]

Well that was an hour and a half WELL SPENT

[@melvinburwell8202]

Nice. Very nice to see an Audrain video that's more than a few minutes. Beautiful state and stunning surroundings.😀

[@Cstoreri]

Awesome! Fantastic place to hold this event, I’ve had approximately 250 cars in 37 years, at this time I’m driving a 1970 Buick Gran Sport.

[@benchester4002]

What a production!!!! Bravo

[@innervisionsOD1]

As much as I love the cars, it's always the stories, especially when the cars create an experience and bond for family members that can never be replaced or replicated, that truly gets to me! Owning a BMW 2002 myself, it was hard not to feel the disappointment with the young man who did not place. Thanks for the great content and upload!

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

Just seeing a Mercedes W123 in the mix was comforting.

[@williamhoward2731]

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome car video with me .

[@guitarsword1]

Outstanding guys and gals . Just a beautiful event.

[@ajkylen]

Probably one of the very best videos I have ever seen on KZbin thank you so much thank you one and all

[@jeffsavage4486]

Just wanted to say absolutely a brilliant documentary ! I must say that I do concourse shows with my father-in-law with our 21 Marmon speedster . And you captured the essence of what a concord show is all about. thank you so glad that I ran across this !!

[@johnnysechrist6313]

I was stationed in Newport three separate times while in the USN. Bought a 1959 Alfa Spider from a gentleman without an engine....Hauled it back to NC when discharged and installed a 327-375 engine with a weind crossram intake with two 650 Holley carbs and a Muncie tranny in her. She was a memorable auto....and very fast.

[@briansullivan9487]

That was fantastic thank you very very much Brian from Melbourne Australia

[@clydesnow5047]

Great Story. I will be there next week for sure.

[@jamesallison4875]

To Uncle Jay and Mr Donald... This was a unique and uplifting experience. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you .

[@josephrobichaud5198]

I had the honor of having a small part in helping my brother in law restore a 1956 GMC pickup. It started out with 2 junkyard trucks made into one. Both looked like they should have gone to the scrap yard long ago. 5 Years later when we took it to his first car show and won best in show, best truck, and best 4 wheel drive! He was so proud I think he slept with all his awards in bed with him. :)

[@stevof10]

Extremely well put-together documentary telling the story of the event and some of the drivers. Excited to attend the Concours this fall

[@bruceh92]

If you didn't attend, no problem, I would think this video captures the full experience and then some. So nicely done, so terrific all the people competing and their stories, so grateful to the perfectly chosen people running this event. Greetings from Canada, and a huge thank you - this more than made my day.

[@xMrsmileyfacex]

Stunning locations. Beautiful town with beautiful car enthusiasts. Every car story was touching and meaningful. It reminded me of all the cars I have loved through the years.

[@jpdj2715]

Excellent narration and visual storytelling. Great feel-good movie.

[@alexkalish8288]

Superb piece of work gentlemen. You covered all the bases with totally diverse automobiles and even more diverse people. Car people are the nicest in the world, seldom the most polished but always kind and reverent. The kid and Osborne are classy - I'm a Packard and pre-war Chrysler guy myself.

[@thomasmulhall4873]

This is by far one of the most wonderful and motivating car videos that I have ever seen. Such great personalities, and stunning cars. Gives me motivation to keep going on my restoration. Thank you- I will make Newport my goal to compete in someday.

[@donjuan150]

Great production....thank you for these stories.

[@joanmccarthy5635]

Fortunate to grow up in Newport RI~ I remember sitting on my Dad's lap~ my hands on the steering wheel~ age 7 going down Bellevue Ave in our 1957 Plymouth! The KZbin video was extremely well done. Grateful that the Concours d'Elegance is held here!

[@jonathanporter3239]

A greatly put together film with some amazing cinematography! Can’t wait to see what this years concours has in store!!

[@evalonious]

This was so well put together. 👏 My family chuckles, of so many destinations to vacation. My dream would be Newport. Jazz & Cars!

[@TheJohnebey]

We are looking forward to our first time attending one of these in about a month, I am glad there was a story about the 30/30 display. Very touching and meaningful

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you!!

[@NikolaiBerzovskiy]

This great documantary deserves a prise too. One of the best videos on cars I have seen this year for sure. And I am sure I will watch it again and again in future. You have made something really fantastic. Jay and Donald are cool men. At 29:44 you have a footage from a ukrainian school library, that's cute))

[@1ocean515]

What a wonderful presentation. The passion, the unity. No expense spared, every dollar worried over. Young, old, one common bond. Just great. 👍👍

[@jaymiepobanz8801]

Wifes name and pic. Wonderful event, automobiles, people and their adventures and stories put together so well. What a dream come true just to be invited to this fine gathering to have so many others enjoy your passion. Mark

[@alexandersoultanis60]

Wonderfully done. It's so true that cars bring great people together. A big thank you to all the volunteers behind the scenes that make wonderful events like yours happen! I will be there and I am looking very foward to it!

[@willemjordaan4108]

Lovely stories...

[@jjones2509]

Excellent presentation.

[@ronayotte3571]

The best quote that sums it all up... "Cars tend to build really great friendships... when you're in a car club, nobody really cares about what you do for a living, it's about what is the car, when did you buy the car and how much garage space do you have..."

[@piomiguelraymundo8725]

Great effort. Howver there are times judges just make one wonder.

[@maryjaninelangdon327]

This was awesome to watch❤️ Seeing the cars come over the bridge was presented in a way that really made my heart sing. Well done. My dad’s first car was a white Thunderbird that he always talked about. Until now I never thought much about my first car but it was a 1978 Firebird Formula, brown with black racing stripes and louvers on the back windows. It was pretty special.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you for enjoying our film!

[@theallon1]

Nicely done.

[@brandbryce]

Wonderful and inspirational film. #hellofromcanada

[@PlanetEarth3141]

Donald, It's odd since I love history of all things that I never considered cars in the same exact way as you mentioned in your opening lines of this video. You're right. I might not be an equal enthusiast to you with cars but I still love them. I recall my favorite car of all time, but never owned one, but have been driven in it. A '65 Thunderbird. Also a college professor once found me admiring his parked Jaguar several times and gave me an unforgettable ride. It spurred a friendly conversation and rapport sorely needed in college when studying was hard. My uncle was an entusiast, always trying something new. A Buick Riviera, a Cadillac, a Lincoln, etc. Another friend drove that odd looking french car with odd back end, can't spell it. He also gave rides in his black atransAm with the hot wheels and firebird on the hood. I learned driving at early 15 in grandad's Chevy pickup, era late 50s, stick shift and clutch. Drive circles around a dug out hole we called a cattle tank on west Texas ranches. You're right how life centers much around cars. Even manhood does. Not refrigerators. Thanks for all your wonderful hard work. Thanks also to letting Jay be part of the museum videos you and him make. You two are hard not to watch and learn history from. I love history and stories.

[@Nightster79]

Very well made. The morning sun hitting the parked cars looked spectacular

[@ryancarey766]

Fantastic stuff

[@eldoroddo]

Beautiful and so emotional documentation. Almost a fantastic movie. Made with so much passion. Thank you. One day I’ll have to come over from Germany to visit this beautiful event.

[@graycav56]

Wonderful documentary! Hit my first Amelia Island this year and had attended The Elegance at Hershey every year while it ran but this looks like a great one to add to the bucket list!!

[@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879]

wonderful, and to have Jay Leno in is awesome.So nice he found immediately with Donald a new center of interest and activities.Just hope he keeps the Burbank garage going on

[@Vampirebear13]

No worries about Jay & his garage & that show. Jay has 180 cars, nearly 200 motorcycles and 5 warehouses which are interconnected next to the Burbank airport. And he's been friends with Donald Osborne for decades.

Your narrative is interesting though it lacking in a lot of context and frame of reference. It needs more embellishment for it to resonate.

Sorry Coleman, you didn't spend enough money in the under 30 under $30,000 restoration class, I mean ... DOH!!! You might have had a shot if you had spent $100k on your $30k restoration, it's a good life lesson learned for a young man, better luck next time ... Who the F' are these judges, anyway? Nobody, that is why these kinds of events are BS.
