The Kirkland Concours d'Elegance at America's Car Museum is an automotive charitable[1] event which has raised approximately 1.5 million US dollars during its first nine years for uncompensated health care for children at Seattle Children's Hospital and Evergreen Hospital Medical Center.
The event was established in 2003 and was held the first nine years of its existence at Carillon Point in Kirkland, Washington.
[2][3] In September 2012 the event moved to the LeMay America's Car Museum (ACM) in nearby Tacoma,[4] and was held until 2013.
A Concours d'Elegance (French, literally "a competition of elegance") is an event open to both prewar and postwar collector cars in which they are judged for authenticity, function, history, and style.
Classes are commonly arranged by type, marque (manufacturer), coachbuilder, country of origin, or time period.
