The Concours D’Elegance classic car show held at The Antique Boat Museum (ABM) on July 17 attracted over 60 rare and distinctive motorcars and some 800 spectators.

While not an officially judged show this year, all attendees were invited to vote in several categories including People’s Choice, Women’s Choice, The Car I Would Love to Drive Home and the Brock Gates awards.

The Brock Yates award was given to Elliott Hillback’s 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL (Sport Light) Gull-wing Coupe. One of only 1,400 produced, the car has 54,000 original miles and was restored in 2006.
