L to R: Salvador Salort-Pons, Director, President and CEO, Detroit Institute of Arts; Larry Moss, Chairman, Concours d’Elegance of America; and McKeel Hagerty, CEO, Hagerty present the Detroit Institute of Art as the new home of the Concours in 2022.
Hagerty says it plans to host next year’s 43rd annual Concours d’Elegance of America in Detroit during September 2022. The hub of the multi-location show will be the Detroit Institute of Arts, arguably the cultural center of the country’s automotive capital. This year’s event takes place July 23-25 at the Inn at St. John’s in Plymouth, its host for a decade.
“We’re announcing two meaningful changes today–rescheduling from July to September and repositioning from the suburbs to downtown,” said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. “This move honors Detroit’s heritage as a hub of commerce, industry, design and culture. We couldn’t think of a better place to recognize the automobile than the Detroit Institute of Arts. It, and its 65,000 works of art, serve as the perfect backdrop as we celebrate the automobile –another signature achievement of mankind.” (Sports Car Market Magazine Hooks Hagerty as Sponsor of The SCM Modern and Classic Touring Series.

This year, Hagerty also announced that two events – the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and Concours of America –would join its growing portfolio of premiere events, including the California Mille and Greenwich Concours d’Elegance. Hagerty takes part in more than 2,500 car events annually. The company also has a presence at the nation’s largest concours in Pebble Beach, California, as well as the annual classic car auction week in Scottsdale, Arizona. Hagerty’s Festival of the Unexceptional, a tongue-in-cheek, concours-style event is an annual highlight in the United Kingdom and takes place on July 31, 2021.

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
