Concourse d' elegance at Royal Palace Het Loo in the Netherlands
Posted by Hans On 2012/6/15 10:50:20
Funny name for a concourse isn't it? But this Dutch concourse is very serious and probably the main event on the national show list for classic cars. Compare it to a scaled down Pebble Beach in the gardens of one of our royal palaces.
My car is a rat sled Clipper Deluxe (1954) and I could not believe my eyes when I saw the mail inviting me to participate in this high class concourse. Think of it: together with some other cars like mine it is a serious contender for the national prize and theoretically even the international prize.
A very interesting move from the organization to establish a class for unrestored and rat cars: Masterpieces survived. It shows that very slowly the rat and unrestored trend is being taken seriously in Europe.
I will keep you posted on how things worked out for the Clipper. Very curious about the amount of interest in the class. Hopefully the weather will cooperate because summer is developing badly this year.
