Westport, Connecticut –

A 1963 Corvette and a 1938 Tatra were the principal winners in Sunday’s Fairfield County Concours d’Elegance, staged for the second time on the spacious grounds of the Fairfield County Hunt Club.

The Corvette, owned by Michael Schudroff of nearby Greenwich, and the Czech Tatra, T77a brought from Toronto by John Long, were awarded what the Concours called a “Grand Prix d’Honneur,” one of which was given to the best domestic entry and one to the best foreign-built vehicle. In the case of the Tatra, it was fortunate the award did not include the word “elegance.”

The event drew a 200-car field and a healthy crowd.
