Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the Morgan Adams Concours d'Elegance!

Centennial Airport in Englewood, Colorado

The Sunday Soirée
August 25, 2024 from 9-11am 
Sanctuary Golf Course in Castle Pines, Colorado

Last year we added a few extra exciting events to celebrate 20 years. They were such a success, we’ve decided to keep them! While most cars & coffee events are a more casual environment, ours is an extension of the evening before with room for more.

This event will also be a curated collection selected by our committee but will allow for more cars to be shown due to less space constraints and will be more accessible to the public.

The other events listed on the registration page are not curated and are open registration. We hope you’ll join us for one or all of these events during this exciting weekend.

2024 Criteria and Tips

The Morgan Adams Concours d’Elegance displays vehicles selected by committee.

Through our show collection, we strive to represent the full production history of the aviation, automotive, and motorcycle industries, focusing on rarely seen, low production collectible machines. Many factors are taken into consideration each year; the following information and guidelines are offered to help clarify the consideration given to each vehicle.

Vehicles are to be ‘original’ in nature. They may be restored to original configuration or presented as they left the manufacturer immediately post-production. Automobiles should be well preserved or in excellent restored condition. At this time, replicas, clones, or tributes of original cars cannot be accepted. A limited number of “barn finds” in original condition may be considered. The Morgan Adams Concours places a special emphasis on rare vehicles with low production numbers but may accept other models if they add a sense of completeness and balance to the show. If you have shown a vehicle with us before, we encourage you to bring a different vehicle so that our generous guests can see something they have not seen before. It is our goal that vehicles not be shown more than once every three years.

Please note the following:

  • Please return your completed application no later than JUNE 30, 2024; however please submit your application as soon as possible! Each marque or class is limited to a pre-determined number of show cars – your early reply enables us to balance the Annual Display.
  • Our entry fee is a suggested donation of $50 and will support The Morgan Adams Foundation’s mission to help kids and teens with cancer.
    If your vehicle is selected, you will receive two general admission entries for you and a guest, a value of $550.
    If your vehicle is not selected, your entry fee becomes a tax-deductible donations. Although your vehicle may not be selected for the Saturday evening Morgan Adams Concours event, you may still be accepted to show at The Sunday Soireè.
  • Please complete a separate application for each vehicle that you are interested in showing.
  • Please submit exterior photos and at least one interior photo of your vehicle with your application. Photos are for staff use only and will not be shared.
  • Include a brief description of the vehicle (150 words or less).
  • Please contact The Morgan Adams Foundation office with questions by calling 303-758-2130.
