The vehicles were best viewed by marque in chronological order with the design facilitating this approach. The Concours is inteded to share the joy of collector exotics with car lovers young and old, while raising money for The United Way, Habitat for Humanity and the Kellner Pediatric Liver Disease Foundation.

Shotgun (passenger) rides in many of the show's cars were available following the Concours. The rides were intended to raise money for charity while allowing the high-bidder a very rare opportunity of riding in the car of their dreams.

The day started off with hints of rain but that quickly subsided even though a few owners threw tarps over their convertibles or roll up the windows just for safe keeping. As far as Concours goes, this was an intimate showing with the vehicles being positioned close together and the number of vehicles being very exclusive. There was a great turn-out by car enthusiasts as they took in the widely diverse collection of masterpieces that adorned the Scarsdale neighborhood. All-in-all, this was a successful event raising around $40,000 for charity and sharing some wonderful classics and exotic vehicles with car lovers of all ages.
