Story and photos by Cliff Reuter
The sixth annual Keeneland Concours d’Elegance was held July 19th, 2009 on the grounds of the Keeneland Horse Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky.
The 921 acres of Kentucky bluegrass pastureland offered a beautiful backdrop for this year’s event and gorgeous weather greeted the car owners and public on the day of the show. A very nice group of world class cars was assembled and much of the proceeds went to support the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The incredibly friendly staff, beautiful setting, and great cars made this a wonderful event! I’d like to thank Tom and Connie Jones for all their efforts in making this up and coming Concours a treat for all who attended!

Cliff,
Thank you for being a part of days festivities! Great car by the way. We really were blessed with unusually cool weather-which no doubt drove the gate. Keep up the good work on SCD. Best, Tom
