Classic Cars Sparkle at Ironstone. ----- www.Ironstoneconcours.com
The Ironstone Concours is held on the beautiful grounds of the Ironstone Winery that lies just outside the historic gold-rush town of Murphys. The concours attracts only the best and most beautiful vintage automobiles from Northern and Central California. Most are driven to and from the show.
Murphys is a revived 1849 California Gold Rush town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains which now is home to some of the new age wine markets. The ample Ironstone Vineyards and Winery with its lush green grounds and water reatures makes an ideal seating for the the Ironstone Concours d'Elegance which is in its 15th year. A 2 hour drive from the San Francisco Bar Area brought us to a diverse collection of automobiles, and as usual a few surprises. The VW Hebmüller roadster was one, the other were the 2 Apperson Touring cars.
The overall event was a great happening with the wine tasting room of the winery at everyone's disposal, the fantastic grounds for the setting and the wonderful town of Murphys to retire to for dinner.
"It's one of Northern California's best-kept secrets," say those who attend the concours regularly. Ironstone is the place to see more than 300 outstanding classic and antique automobiles.
The 15th annual Ironstone's 2011 featured marques are Stutz, Packard, Pierce-Arrow, Bentley, Rolls-Royce and classic Volkswagens. The concours will also celebrate Chevrolet's 100th anniversary. As before, displays will include classic and antique motorcycles, wooden boats, art-deco trailers and campmobiles.
This year's event will have a number of new activities. For the first time, selected attendees will be able to take rides in a 1913 Stutz Bearcat from the National Automobile Museum collection in Reno, Nevada. Also available for rides will be Model T and Model A Fords supplied by local clubs.
In addition, Plein Air artists will paint pictures of cars on the field. As in events past, showgoers will be able to visit unique exhibits by young members of 4H and Future Farmers of America.
