Description: In 1944, the year the Horseless Carriage Club of Missouri was founded, the clouds of war still hung over Europe and Japan. Many of the pre-early 1940s cars went the way of the scrap heap and then the smelter. It was a sad ending for many prestigious and fine motorcars. Still, some folks had put cars away in barns and long-forgotten garages. However, there were few “car collectors” and aficionados at the time. Cars were considered transportation and purely utilitarian. Besides, with a war on, there was little focus on preserving what we now would consider antique and classic vehicles. Surprisingly though, in St. Louis, there were a group of individuals that began to meet to discuss cars and reminisce about the good old days — the days of four wheels and no brakes!

Description

St. Louis is the oldest region affiliated with the Horseless Carriage Club of America. In 1962 the Easter Concours d'Elegance was born. Ever since, no other antique car show in the Greater St. Louis area has held such appeal to the public for so many decades. It is a legendary tradition. This impressive car show will feature up to 600 classic and collector cars from the early 1900s to the late 1800s.
