Here, about two weeks after the event are photos of the Packards that were displayed at the third Santa Fe Concorso.

The event keeps getting bigger and better. This year the location moved to a private golf course and the automobiles, bicycles, and motor cycles were displayed on the greens around the club house. Over 90 automobiles were exhibited that ranged from a 1904 Autocar to the latest 2013 McLaren road car. In addition, 14 vintage motorcycles and 13 collector bicycles were on view.

There were a series of activities for entrants throughout the week. Short tours around northern New Mexico were driven on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings. There was a reception at the Santa Fe airport on Friday evening. Saturday morning got an early start with the High Mountain Tour to the Valles Caldera in the Jimenez mountains. 75 vehicles participated in the tour.

Sunday was the big day for the show. The weather was clear and crisp with breath taking views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains painted in bright yellow by the turning aspens.

I got a short ride in the 1920 Twin Six. I also got to get reacquainted with an old friend, the 1937 Twelve Convertible Sedan. More on this reunion will follow.

Next, I'll post photos of the class and special awards winners.

It was fun doing volunteer work for this event on Saturday and viewing all the wonderful vehicles on Sunday.
