About Us
Where contemporary automotive icons meet driven philanthropy
The Philadelphia Concours d’Elegance has evolved into the region’s most refined celebration of automotive culture. Reimagined for a new era, our lens now focuses on the 1960s through today, the decades that defined modern performance, design, and cultural impact. From poster-era supercars and endurance legends to limited-series hypercars and coachbuilt specials, every selection is curated for significance, provenance, and taste.
Our Story
Founded in 2017 by Cool Cars for Kids and a team of dedicated physicians, including Dr. Ian Krantz, the Philadelphia Concours d’Elegance began at the renowned Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum as a celebration of exceptional automobiles and an even greater cause. What started as an intimate gathering among enthusiasts and families has grown into the region’s most sophisticated showcase of automotive culture. Through the event’s success, the concours has outgrown its original venue, finding a new home at The Union League Liberty Hill. This setting matches its elevated vision and delivers the ultimate luxury concours experience. While the venue has evolved, the spirit and support of the Simeone and Cool Cars for Kids remain stronger than ever, continuing to drive the event’s mission of blending automotive excellence with meaningful impact for children and families affected by rare genetic conditions.
