The Greenwich Concours presented by HAGERTY is always a highlight of the late spring season. Held annually in Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich, Connecticut overlooking Long Island Sound, the two-day show attracts car collectors and car lovers who travel far distances to attend this fabulous show. The first day of the show, held on Saturday, May 31, 2025, was the Concours De Sport. There were many outstanding cars presented for the Concours De Sport, and we are thrilled to bring you some of the highlights from the Saturday show.

Edward F. Nesta & Wayne Carini

Neither rain nor wind could keep Luxury Experience or other car collectors and car lovers from attending the Greenwich Concours De Sport presented by HAGERTY on Saturday, May 31, 2025. Wayne Carini, Television Personality and Host of the television show, Chasing Classic Cars was on hand and brought his 1958 Rutan Porsche Special Hillclimb Car in the Porsche Powered class.

Ralph Marano, Goldie & Edward F. Nesta

For many years, we have enjoyed seeing the exceptional cars at the Greenwich Concours, including those presented by car collector, Ralph Marano. We were thrilled when he was selected as the 2025 Grand Marshall for the Greenwich Concours. For the Greenwich Concours, Mr. Murano brought six of his exquisite Packard cars, which were on display for the two days of the show.

Grand Marshall Cars: The Marano Collection Cars:

Ralph Marano

1935 Packard Eight 1201 Convertible Victoria, Graber

1937 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Victoria Darrin, interesting to note about this car is that “Not all custom, one-off Packards were built on the Super Eight and Twelve long-wheelbase chassis. This Darrin is equipped with running boards (omitted from later cars), along with dual carburetors, radio, heater, and rear fender skirts.”

1938 Packard 604 Super Eight, interesting to note about this car is that “Packard introduced its Sixteenth Series models in September 1937. This Super Eight, originally built for Aristotle Onassis’ mother, is powered by Packard’s silky-smooth 130hp, 320cid in-line eight-cylinder engine.”

1938 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Victoria Darrin

1938 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Victoria Darrin “was a special automobile – a blending of all the glory that was Packard in the Classic Era. All the chutzpa that was the stock in trade of Howard “Dutch” Darrin.”

1951 Packard Panther Custom 2-Door Coupe

1951 Packard Panther Custom 2-Door Coupe: Information on this car lists, “The 1951 Packards designed by chief stylist John Reinhart set an industry trend with a lower hood line and squared fenders. Famed singer and auto enthusiast James Melton owned the car in the mid-1950s installing a Chrysler engine, transmission, dashboard, and taillights while repainting the car a deep blue.” Note the panther’s eight “teeth” in the grill area.

1953 Packard Balboa X 2-Door Hardtop Coupe

1953 Packard Balboa X 2-Door Hardtop Coupe, Mitchell: The interesting information on this car is that “having achieved great success with its Pan American show car in 1952, Packard delivered an encore called the Balboa X in late-1953. Packard never put it into production, but Cars magazine gave it an award for “Best Car of the Year in Design, Safety, and Comfort.” Note the lipstick red stripes in the grill area.
