Lime Rock Announces "Sunday in the Park Concours" Classes

This year’s 38th Historic Festival weekend, the Sunday in the Park Concours (Sept. 6, 2020) is being redesigned around a refined set of classes that maintains a focus on interesting classic, sports and racing cars, but, in keeping with the spirit of the current times, adds some additional classes, including one for classic camping trailers – the ideal solution for social distancing.

The concours will also feature “either side of the ponds” with classes for French cars and for the Datsun/Nissan Z-cars, honoring the 240Z’s 50th anniversary. As in previous year’s, the concours will again have a class for unrestored and preserved cars. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, in honor of all those that have done so much to keep us safe during the past few months, the event will have a special exhibit of vintage safety and first responder vehicles.
