Tribute to brassSaturday, May 17, 2008
In today's fine steel, aluminum and carbon fiber world, it's hard to fathom that many cars once were constructed of brass and sheet metal. The Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance, a four-day Oct. 30-Nov. 2 festival of cars, entertainment and socializing, will showcase brass cars as well as the 100th anniversary of the Great Savannah Races. The races, from 1908-11, are considered the first grand prix road races in the United States. The tribute to brass cars, meanwhile, will have at least one car, including steam-powered and electric models, every year from 1899 to 1915. |
