Concours d'Elegance of Southwest Michigan
The Concours d'Elegance of Southwest
Michigan will be hosting their 12th annual show August 13, 2016 on the beautiful
bluff, overlooking Lake Michigan.
The Lake Bluff Concours will help celebrate automaker Nash's 100th birthday
by inviting a number of company's vintage vehicles to our August 13 car show
in St. Joseph. If you know someone with a nice Nash - any year between 1916
and 1957, please have them get in touch with us by year end so we can send
an invitation to apply.
I have been contacted by the selection committee to assist them in getting
approximately 6 Nash vehicles to cover a good selection of the 1916-1957 era.
Ken, I am hoping your will consider filling out a application to bring your
beautiful “Tub” to next years invitation only show. Any other
member wishing to attend with your Nash, let me know and I will have a application
forwarded to you.

35 years or older. Jeep on its 75th anniversary with a special class built
first by Willys, then Kaiser Jeep from 1956 to 1965. The 60 the anniversary

Concours d'Elegance of Southwest Michigan is a vintage automobile exhibition
that is held annually on the bluff overlooking ...Lake Michigan in St. Joseph.
Dozens of classic vehicles dating from the dawn of the automotive era up to
1981 will be on display. All are beautifully restored and several are extremely
rare and unusual. The display of vehicles, including motorcycles and bicycles,
is complemented by three afternoon "pass in review" events narrated
by automotive authority F. Edward Lucas II, "The Voice of Amelia Island."
They have a web page and a facebook page for further information www.ConcoursSWMI.com
Hope to see members of the NASH Car Club of America helping us celebrate 100
years of NASH!
