A final look at this year’s Dayton Concours d’Elegance

More than 200 cars and motorcycles, perfect blue skies and a temperature about 80 degrees were the key elements to attracting a record number of visitors to Carillon Historical Park for the 11th edition of the Dayton Concours d’Elegance Sept. 17.

Here is a final look at photos of this year’s show, which serves as the largest annual fundraising event held at the park, and benefits Dayton History, Montgomery County’s official historical organization. All proceeds from the weekend help preserve and interpret more than 40 buildings and millions of artifacts connected to the region’s history, and provide year-round educational programming.

The event is made possible through the hard work and dedication of the concours committee and volunteers, Dayton History staff and the support of such corporate partners as AAA Miami Valley.

Skip Peterson served as Concours chairman, while Mike Edgerton was automobile selection director, Dan Thornton was motorcycle selection director and Randy Derr, model car concours director.

The date for the 12th annual Dayton Concours d’Elegance is set for Sept. 16, 2018.
