Always a pleasure to see Wayne Carini, especially this weekend at the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance for the debut of our freshly restored 1925 Duesenberg Model A Boattail Roadster!

The 2026 Greenwich Concours is a wrap, and it was a terrific weekend overall. Thanks to a big improvement in the weather, Sunday’s show was packed with fans. A few cars that caught my eye were Dick Shappy’s 1925 Duesenberg, a very rare BMW-based Frazier Nash roadster (alongside a lovely BMW 507), a spectacular lineup of 1950s and 60s Cadillacs, an impeccable Dino 246 and a rare collection of Grand Marshal Paul Russell’s magnificent classics. My good friend Ralph Marano brought his Packard 120 Indianapolis “Pacemaker” used in the 1936 500. I gave my award to Paul Gould’s 1912 Mercer Type 35 Raceabout, which anchored the “Sports Car Evolution” class for its historical significance. Congratulations to Nick Soprano and Peter Sachs for their Best of Show honors. — Wayne Carini

Last weekend we had the honor of attending the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance in Greenwich, Connecticut. Put on by Hagerty, this was one of the best yet and we managed to finish the restoration of the unique 1925 Duesenberg Model A Boattail Roadster just the day before! We were impressed by the amount of attention this vehicle received, fielding many questions from an informed audience. With only one other similar model out there, getting an inside look is a rare glimpse into the luxuries of the affluent in the 1920s. Stay tuned to take a peek and see more of the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance in an upcoming video!
