Meadow Brook Hall Concours D'elegance: August 6, 1995 Official Program
No Publisher Listed. 1995 First Edition First Printing; Softcover Near Fine
This is an official program from the internationally renowned Meadow Brook Hall Concours d'Elegance, held every year at Meadow Brook Hall, Rochester, Michigan, on the grounds of Meadow Brook Hall, one of the largest private residences ever built in the US. It was the former home of Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of an auto baron. The pages are clean and tight; printed on glossy paper. Extensively illustrated with dozens of color and b/w photographs, 'special advertising section' from a periodical, tipped in. Includes a field map, list of 1995 entries, as well as 1994 winners. To see these spectacular cars, in all of their glory, on the property of this fabulous estate, is a definite highlight of the year. I looked through these programs and see at least 20, or more, cars I'd love to bring home with me--the roadsters get me every time! While the programs show very nominal edge wear, they appear to have been very lightly handled, and then put away immediately. Oversized, 3#. ; Meadow Brook Hall Concours D'Elegance Series; Photographs; 8 1/4 x 11; 152 pages; The covers have slight rubbing and edge wear on them.
