Willistead Classic Concours d'Elegance

Cars that are participating in Sundays Concours event are invited to participate in a 30 km tour along the historic waterfront of Riverside Drive in Windsor, Ontario. This event is held the Saturday before the event, and this year will be held on August, 23, 2008. Participation in this event is not mandatory, but will affect the judging of the vehicle in the event of a tie, in which case the car that completed the tour will receive the advantage. Over 80 vehicles participate each year in this unique event. For some of these vehicles, it is the only time they are ever driven. Following the tour, the owner of each vehicle is awarded a Road Tour ribbon signifying that their vehicle is still capable of performing what it was designed to do.
