2006 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance -8

Keels & Wheels Concours (2012) – Recap & Photo Gallery

May 5-6, 2012

Seabrook, Texas

Keels & Wheels has long held a unique position among larger events with its combination of classic automobiles and vintage wooden watercraft. With a venue that allows both automotive and marine enthusiasts to admire the cars and boats displayed in a spectacular marina setting, Keels & Wheels has taken careful steps over the years to ensure that the event is more accessible and less formal than similar shows elsewhere. The two vehicles awarded Best of Show (European and American), the Peter and Merle Mullin 1934 Bugatti Type 54 and Richard and Irina Mitchell’s 1930 Springfield Rolls-Royce Phantom, were emblematic of the quality vehicles that have made this a mandatory stop on the national tour for the finest cars in the country.
