As an Atlanta based start-up focused on the Collector Car market, we've been scratching our heads wondering "Why doesn't Atlanta have any major concours event on the National Concours Tour?"
Not some gathering just for billionaires, but one that more people can enjoy. What many locals don't realize is that hundreds, more likely thousands, of these timeless and often one-of-a-kind cars are right here in North Georgia tucked away in private collections.
As Bob Dylan sang, "These times they are a-changin" and as a result, we've "broken into our happy dance!"
Cars & 'Q For a Cause
The first, Cars & Q for the Cause was started in 2009 as a way for employees of Choate Construction to celebrate their mutual appreciation for Classic cars. Over the past few years and with focus by Millard Choate’s daughter Emily, the event has grown from a simple company celebration to an organization focused on raising both awareness of Cystic Fibrosis and donation funds to support the fight against this debilitating disease. Watch Emily's video here.
