The Concours d’LeMons Michigan
Not happy to lower the standards of just one Concours weekend, LeMons brings Hoopties, Rust Buckets, Misfits, Mistakes and the worst of the automotive world to the Concours of the America’s weekend in Michigan. The Concours d’LeMons Michigan will take place on July 26, 2014 just around the corner from the Inn at St. John’s, on the front lawn of the once shuttered Ford-Sheldon automotive plant in Plymouth, MI. How fitting. All of regular Concours d’LeMons hi-jinx will ensue, capricious judging, bribery, awful trophies and even worse cars. If you take yourself or your car very seriously, this isnt the show for you. Hagerty Insurance has has stepped in to add a shred of legitimacy to this farce so be sure to thank them for the laughs. The best part is that the show is free for participants and spectators, so you’ll get exactly what you pay for.

The big dog
The Concours d’Elegance has its roots in 17th century France, when the aristocracy would parade their horse-drawn carriages through the parks of Paris. With the advent of the automobile, Concours d’Elegance events evolved into competitions between automobile manufacturers, custom coachbuilders, and owners, whose vehicles were judged on the beauty of their design.
The Concours d’Elegance of America at St. John's continues this tradition of exhibiting prestigious collector cars and also offers an automotive art exhibition, a vintage car auction, Mode du Concours and many other social events.
For its first 32 years the Concours d'Elegance of America was held at Oakland University's Meadow Brook Hall, the historic home of Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of automotive pioneer John Dodge. In 2011 this world-class event moved to the beautiful grounds of the Inn at St. John’s in Plymouth, Michigan.
In keeping with our tradition of showcasing classic, rare and magnificent automobiles, the car selection committee will again invite a unique collection of vehicles to be displayed for the 2014 Concours d'Elegance on July 27.
The 2014 Concours d'Elegance of America will be held at The Inn at St. John's on Sunday, July 27. We are pleased to return to this beautiful facility with handsome grounds for showcasing the invited world-class vehicles. The luxury hotel on the premises incorporates charming meeting rooms and fine dining facilities.
