Thanks for a great second annual NEC! 

The New England Concours d'Elegance 2025 was a success!  The Chevrolet Corvette was the featured marque, Kim Baker our special honoree, Wayne Carini as our grand marshal and Dean Cusano as our lead judge.  The weather threatened rain and high winds but held off so that the clouds provided just the right conditions for great photography of beautiful vehicles. 

On the morning of Sunday, October 12, at the Farmington Polo Grounds in Farmington, Connecticut, car owners, a small army of dedicated volunteers, and spectators gathered to enjoy the day with each other. 



Together, they supported two important non-profit organizations working to improve our community:

• The Hometown Foundation supports animal welfare, emergency response personnel, military, major illness/those in need, and individuals with intellectuals or developmental disabilities.
• Klingberg Family Centers extends hope and healing to children and families whose lives have been traumatized by abuse and/or neglect in its various forms, severe family problems and mental health issues. 

In addition to the concours, families could play with baby goats, visit vendor tables, enjoy games, and eat delicious food.  History came alive with opportunities to learn about automotive history in a way that comes alive as those enhanced by the stories tell them through their own words and the work they've put into the cars.

Founded in 1954, Hemmings is the world’s largest collector car marketplace, with the purpose to grow and uplift the collector car community of which Hemmings has always been a part.  This new partnership with Hometown Foundation is more than car fun: we'll be supporting both the mission of the Hometown Foundation and the Klingberg Family Centers.
