On Sunday, June 9, the crème de la crème of cars and motorcycles were on display for the 46th annual Concours d’Elegance in Ault Park.

Concours d’Elegance is a nationally recognized event that highlights North America’s premier collector automobiles and motorcycles and brings in automotive enthusiasts of all ages. The theme for this year’s showcase was “La Dolce Vita – Celebrating Italian Style,” which emphasized Italian automotive design’s innovation and elegance.

Nearly 250 vehicles were displayed in the gardens, with 24 classes of classic, vintage and exotic automobiles and motorcycles. There was also special display classes like the 60th Anniversary of the Ford Mustang and Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg, as well as debuts of rare and exclusive automobiles, including the Duesenberg special, “The Mormon Meteor,” a one-off speed record car that was built in 1935 and is now owned by a Cincinnati collector. A 1962 Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet “Eden Roc,” one of the smallest cabriolets ever produced, from the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville was also on display at the Cincinnati Concours for the first time ever.
