The Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival reached sold out status for cars in the show earlier than ever before, in both the Concours and the Car Club Showcase. The Festival continues to expand its reach and did so again this year with an all-new new aviation event, the Flights & Fancy Gala and Aero Expo.
“We don’t see the momentum slowing down anytime soon and encourage owners to submit as early as possible for next year’s event,” said Carolyn Vanagel, President of the Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival. “The world-class hospitality and facilities of the Port Royal Golf Club, along with our yearly attendance records, have resulted in an even higher quality show field than ever before, and this year’s winners truly point to our growth and success.”
More than 500 vehicles made their way to the Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, to participate in this year’s Festival. Automotive icons in attendance included Manfred Erlacher (President & CEO, BMW Manufacturing), Ralph Gilles (Head of Design, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V.), Lex Kerssemakers (President, Volvo of North America), Norma Saken (The Iacocca Family Foundation), Jay Ward (Cars Legacy Guardian, Pixar Animation Studios) and Skip Barber. Renowned collectors Fred Guyton of St. Louis, Missouri, and William “Tom” Gerrard of Big Sky, Montana, were recognized as the 2015 Pinnacle and Honored Collectors.
“We are honored to host collectors and enthusiasts at one of the fastest growing automotive lifestyle events in the country,” said Rick Shoemaker, General Manager of the Heritage Golf Collection on Hilton Head Island. “We are thrilled to have such participation and we hope to see an even bigger number at next year’s event.”
The 15th annual Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival & Concours d’Elegance is scheduled for October 28 – November 6, 2016. For more information on the Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival & Concours d’Elegance, visit the official website at www.HHIMotoringFestival.com.
