Our Best Concours Yet!

[@andrewaronson804]

My wife and I have been to every Audrain Concours since 2019. In our opinion this was in fact the best to date. My thanks to the entire Audrain team for putting together this spectacular event.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thanks Andy! We're very glad you both enjoyed the Motor Week!

[@chuckgilchrest5675]

I have to say to the video crew that this is truly a beautifully made piece that captures the heart and passion of the Audrain Newport Concours. I've been privileged to participate as a volunteer and judge at each year's event and it is a highlight of the year for me, reinforcing my love of motorsport. Each year I learn about new makes, models, and renditions of cars and motorcycles from around the world at this unique set of events. I'm still amazed at how few enthusiasts know about the Concours, but perhaps the best kept "secret" in the automotive world keeps crowds manageable and the experience relaxed.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you so much for your continued support, Chuck!

[@L3Trip]

Perfect title for this video!! Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week really raised the bar this year! I was honored to attend so many of the events and it was a phenomenal weekend. We are so lucky have this gem of a show in historic Newport, RI. Thank you Audrain and all the staff and volunteers!!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you so much Larry!

[@mathiasseidler5527]

Congratulations ‼️ We came in on Saturday by ship. Yes, Queen Mary ll was stopping by on our way to Europe. What a great experience 👍👍👍

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

That's incredible! Thanks so much for attending!

[@toddgiambruno]

I attended last year and fell in love with every aspect of the Concours! I had to come back this year and enjoyed my time even more! See you next year!! Thank you for such a beautiful and memorable time!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

@@toddgiambruno So glad to hear that. See you next year!

[@HonJazzz]

This year was my first time attending and I am happy to say this will be an event that I look forward to attending for many years to come.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Awesome! Thank you so much for coming

[@alexkalish8288]

congratulations on your best concours yet and perfect weather.

[@ИбрагимИсламов555]

Beautiful cars and fantastic scenery, amazing atmosphere. Greetings from Ukraine. Love your channel.

[@crbourret]

Glad to have been a part of it!

[@naahhhbiitch6431]

9:51 hey it’s me ! What a fantastic weekend it was . I can’t thank Ben and the entire crew enough for all their derivation and hard work to put this motor week together . Salute 🫡. Can’t wait for next year

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@jamesonpace726]

Exquisite production & the idea of the East coast just fantastic....

[@Bostongrn]

Appreciate you guys having me there! Was an absolute blessing to walk away with an award too!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

@@Bostongrn You have a fantastic car. Congratulations on your award!

[@Bostongrn]

@ Thank you so much!

[@jimchik]

Awesome.

[@Bigmikenorthern]

Definitely a bucket list item for me one day!!💪💪👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TheJohnebey]

Wonderful video and the Weather is the big star

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

Jay, I agree that was your best Concours yet because I was there--in fact we chatted in the VIP tent about my maternal grandfather Joseph Evans probably having had worked on your Pierce Arrow since he was a skilled craftsman in the factory on Elmwood Ave. in North Buffalo. I look forward to the next one. :)

[@pyootchnich]

What a well produced video! Photography, editing, the music evoked a sense of beauty and nostalgia without being distracting.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

We need a Concours D'Average. Cars that aren't valuable in money. But valuable in personal history and nostalgia. Regular cars that people remember seeing on the road when they were kids. For me it would be cars from the 60s to 80s. Those are the ones I remember. I think a show that includes cars like this would bring a lot of people. Especially if they aren't all perfect. Good driver quality, original or period correctly modified cars. I think it would be a great show. Who agrees with me? I bet if there are enough likes and replies, Donald can make something happen for us regular folks

[@ashishpatel350]

this was awesome

[@davidwarburton8890]

Just what I needed today.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

:)

[@donjuan150]

Great video production! Between the drone shots and b-roll you guys and gals hit out of the park! I now need to go next year.

[@gerarddion4859]

Well done everyone! It was such a great day and it made me feel so proud and privileged to be a member of the Audrain! It has become one of my favorite days of the year! Now, how about presenting a slide show of all the winners in each class, please?

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

So glad to hear that, we look forward to having you back in 2025! Soon, there will be a livestream of the 2024 award ceremony posted on the channel. In the meantime, you can see the list of winners accompanied by pictures here: www.audrainconcours.com/2024-winners

[@Vamanaswastika]

Imagine , in this short life that we live, we will all be gone. Yet we envy such materialistic items. If we put that energy into helping other, this world would definitely be more impactful.

[@undividual3891]

It's definitely possible to love cars and still love people!

[@RRRVanquish1998]

New Vanquish is my favourite

[@OllamhDrab]

Heehee, like much Audrain content this is one for my morning coffee time but had to peek. :)

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Spectacular. !

[@gsmith207]

now that was Epic! thanks for the great vid. and thanks from us corvetteheads, did not expect that! really cool cheers from Maine

[@MadMike991]

Well done guys (and gals), so much better weather than last year!

[@rynosraceroom66]

Awesome content ! 🤘🏻🏁

👍😎👍 Thanks for sharing great video.

[@mariojorgefernandes5722]

Fantástico, Parabéns.

Hope to see you soon!

[@dougcargill6730]

Wonderful production quality. I love this channel and everything that’s done at The Audrain. Please put out another video that simply focuses on the wonderful vehicles at the concours. Not so much on all the events that lead up to Sunday. I want to see more cars. It looks like there was a Delahaye nominated for BIS and there was only a fleeting glance.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thanks for watching!

[@universriot]

Hi Donald and team! I recently shared my video covering the incredible Audrain Concours D'Elegance, capturing the unique energy and elegance of the event. If you get a chance to watch it, I’d be honored to hear your thoughts! And if it resonates, I’d love the opportunity to participate as a videographer in one of your future events. It would be a dream to capture more of these stunning moments. Thank you for everything you and the Audrain team do for the car community!

[@NewCastleIndiana]

Love it. However, I must point out the outro title misspelled volunteers.

[@seancrowley1065]

Looked like Wayne Carini in the roadster.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

@@seancrowley1065 You would be correct.

[@rupertbaskerville]

What is the car at 7:53 and 14:00? From what I can tell it's a mid to late 30's Cadillac but what year & model? Absolutely breathtaking.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

A 1934 Cadillac V16, but with Fleetwood coachwork that was never completed in the period because of the depression. The car's owner took the Fleetwood drawings and turned them into a real car! Very special indeed

[@rupertbaskerville]

@@AudrainMuseumNetwork thank you for the information! It's a real shame that they were never made in the period but it's amazing that the owner created it from the drawings, it does make me a little sad that only one exists! Would love to see it in person someday but I live in the UK.

[@albertseabra9226]

Fabulous vehicles, presented by 2 Ph.Ds car persons: Jay and Donald Osborne. Thank you for this amazing video.

[@kethughes8266]

Nice to see some peasant cars on view.

[@opera93]

Thank You, oddly interesting……especially, if unable to be there, etc.

[@F8Tributo]

Very cool! Anybody know of a 1937 Cord Phaeton or Sportsman for sale?

[@dougvanallen2212]

Great job just wish the video was twice as long

[@jaybarnhardt2197]

I was wondering if the Audrain Concours event happened this year as I saw no promotion or videos like the last couple of years. Glad it happened but unfortunately this video did very little to bring it to anyone who is viewing it here on your channel. You really should improve coverage to memorialize these events as they are very good.

[@Johnny-xf9mp]

Really?? Not only did I see MANY commercials on TV, LOTS OF KZbin videos, etc…. BUT, You are absolutely entitled to have your opinion 100% , but I am positive that THOUSANDS of people were there and having a great time !! So they must have found out somehow, and I’m also positive that if you mark your calendar for the same time next year, YOU will also be there and having a great time with all of us. Hope to see you there !

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Hope to see you next year - October 2 - 5, 2025

[@universriot]

I shared the video about Audrain a couple weeks ago. But I was there only one day, unfortunately...

[@eldorado767]

Wish editors had added subtitles with info about each car in the parade. I have no idea what 99% of them are.

[@waynejones8481]

Ya know, this just isn't the same without the real enthusiasm Jay Leno brings to the event. You guys might have tried to get him there, i don't know. But he's not going to be around forever, and i think you should do anything you can do to get him to be a co host at the event, no better pair then Jay and Donald Osborn. Jay was a good promoter on getting the young people involved as well. Anyway please next year try to get him there!

[@alexcallas8222]

He was there! Go look @18:45- sure looks like him.

[@edsteward7717]

He's in the video at least a few different times, plus, I believe he owns the venue.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Hi Wayne - this highlights the entire week. Jay Leno is the Chairman of event and is heavily involved with Audrain. We filmed several videos with him throughout the week that you can see here on the channel and will be released in the coming weeks. Thanks for watching!

[@chriscadman6379]

Hello.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Hello!

[@normangensler7380]

Nothing beats Jay and Donald. Why use these bland young guys?

[@stingraysammyjo]

🫶💯

[@tomsimpson5317]

So depressing being poor

[@johndavey72]

Reluctantly l must say this was rather disappointing . The grass area was scruffy . I don't recall any lead up to this event and for me that Maserati was very ordinary and didn't tick my box . .....Oh Dear !

[@will5555]

Have to say, that's a pretty crappy video. I think you showed one or two pre-war cars, what's that all about? The coverage of the tour was terrible. I don't know who you think your audience is, but this was geared towards youngsters. Oh, that's right...

[@SamNusbaum]

Just in the tour section of the video, there was a 1932 Ford, a 1937 Packard Twelve 1508 Rollston Convertible Victoria, a Duesenberg Model SJ, a 1939 Bugatti Type 57, a 1939 Bugatti Type 57C, a Ford Model A, a 1913 Renault Type DP 22/24, and a 1934 Cadillac V16. I don't know how many more prewar cars could have gone into that section and still show the wide range of cars that were on the tour.

[@normangensler7380]

@@SamNusbaum Wanting to pass on to the next generation is a desirable path forward, but the lack of depth in character and life experience hurts a quality performance. Get some presenters with a more substantive background, and you'll do better. Perhaps having Jay and Donald vet the youngster crowd you're choosing from would help, the personalities of the entitled museum owners' offspring is as appealing as wet socks.

[@waynejones8481]

I don't know what made it the best show ever, it sure wasn't the video composition that I saw on KZbin. Rather boreing if I do say so! I've seen better productions where you spend more time with the cars and the 30 on 30 folk only saw one guy talk. Nope pretty piss poor production.

[@Spinazania]

yea its ight, not the click bait title tho

[@tjkelner01]

Antonio, your clothes are drastically lacking for the event, both in presence and overall fit. If you are going to be around $million cars, step it up! Find a tailor or come see me

[@nick2128]

Your manners are lacking . 🤦🏻

[@joelsanfordphoto]

So much for the claimed 1000+ car turnout at the Cars & Coffee. In reality it was probably about 50-100 cars (most of which were gone after the first hour) in one of two small Easton's Beach parking lots, while the freshly paved, way larger, Second Beach lot was left completely empty. I even got a $40 parking ticket just to park in the only available lot at Third Beach, which was packed to the brim with 200 spectator cars. I think a good majority of the potential spectators were turned away with nowhere to even park, and the ones who managed to get a spot were ticketed. The one event you don't have to be part of the 1% to be able to afford to attend.

[@MadMike991]

For future reference, I think the Cars and Coffee at Fort Adams are the best. I have seen way more cars than that there on non Concours weekends. Also, for the cars from the Concours, you can see them for free after the Tour on Bellevue Ave in front of the Audrain ( 7:56)…

[@joelsanfordphoto]

@MadMike991 Thats if you're comfortable shoving through a wall of people just to get a pinhole sized view

[@chuckgilchrest5675]

@@MadMike991 The previous 2 years Cars and Coffee was cancelled due to rain events that would have turned Ft Adams into a sea of mud.. The reality of having 1000 cars on wet grass on the lawn of Ft Adams in the rain wasn't an option. So using paved parking at a waterfront location led to the Cars and Coffee being held at Easton's Beach. Challenging logistics and the smaller venue will be reviewed moving forward.
