• 12th Year of Keeneland Concours to Display Diverse Array of Classic and Collectible Automobiles.

LEXINGTON, KY – July 13, 2015 – The Keeneland Concours d'Elegance on July 18 at the historic Keeneland Race Course will feature more than 140 of the finest and most exciting classic cars on display and a weekend full of activities.

Famed Italian automaker Maserati is the featured marque for 2015. Showcasing the company's 100th anniversary, there will be 2 classes of historic and modern Maserati autos displayed on the show field. The show runs 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Saturday, July 18, at the Keeneland Race Course, 4201 Versailles Rd, Lexington KY. Tickets are $20 at the gate, $15 in advance from the website.

Classics scheduled for the Saturday show range from cars of the early 20th century such as Dodge, Marmon and Ford, to later beauties such as Auburn, Packard and Pierce Arrow as well as coach-built rarities such as Bugatti and Stutz. Other classes include European sports cars such as Jaguar and Porsche, American performance cars, and pick up trucks. Racecars on display range from a 1914 Duesenberg to a 2001 Audi LeMans racer. Also on display will be class of rare micro cars from the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.

There's also a silent auction, an exhibition of world-class automotive artists, a Porsche raffle, the Wells Fargo stagecoach, and a number of other attractions throughout the day. Food and beverages will be available for purchase on the grounds.

New to the Keeneland Concours this year is a campaign to encourage children to learn more about automobiles. Free automotive coloring books will be handed out to young attendees. Additionally, car owners who are willing to talk with children and their parents about their cars will be wearing a 'Kid Friendly Car' sticker. Since many Concours automobiles are priceless and irreplaceable, each car owner will decide the degree of interaction children can have with their cars.

'We hope this program will help the children develop an appreciation for classic cars and continue the hobby when they get older,' said Tom Jones, Concours Co-Chair.

Tickets are available for the Hangar Bash on Friday, July 17 at the door or visiting our website www.keenelandconcours.com. The event is held at the Aviation Museum of Kentucky at Bluegrass Airport. The event includes music, heavy hors d'oeuvres, vintage airplanes, including a PT-19, PT-22, and AT-6 warbirds, along with a selection of classic cars, will be parked in the hangar for the evening. Tickets are $75.

The Concours weekend also includes the Bourbon Tour on Thursday, July 16, and the Tour d'Elegance on Sunday, July 19. Tickets for all events are available on the website.
