Greenwich to Feature Vignale, Chrysler Letter Cars

With Greenwich Concours just a few weeks away from its second weekend under Hagerty, classics in the northeast are getting ready for a return to the seaside park that has been home to the concours for over 25 years. The three-day series of events will see Radwood and Concours d'Lemons on Saturday, after a tour for concours cars on Friday, June 3, with the main event scheduled for Sunday, June 5, with foreign and domestic cars on display.

"Our goal is to include additional elements that together create a three-day motoring celebration with something for everyone. Providing on-ramps for even more enthusiasts is key to preserving car culture for future generations," said Matt Orendac, vice chairman of Concours Group.

The concours recently revealed that classes this year will include Vignale-bodied cars, a number of which we've seen at Greenwich in the past few years, including those from Ferrari.

As the concours organizers note, Vignale designs can range from radical to rather conservative—the spectrum is perhaps wider than for Carrozzeria Zagato—and they also span a greater variety of marques, from Tatra to Cunningham. Just a few years ago, Greenwich Concours hosted a gathering of Briggs Cunningham cars, with a total of 35 gathering for the weekend, so it's a safe bet we'll see one or more at the concours this June.

When it comes to this celebrated carrozzeria, concours organizers say a display of Vignale-bodied Ferraris will be part of Sunday's event, which suggests we could once again see the 1965 Ferrari 330 GT shooting brake (pictured below) at the event, as we did in 2018. The radically restyled three-door was certainly hard to miss at Greenwich four years ago when a number of Vignale cars were on display, and it will be hard to miss if it returns to the concours this year as well.
