Ferrari Concorso in Hartford, Connecticut
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img ADLX ::: Concorso Ferrari Hartford
THREE years straight, yours has been chided by various pushy people concerned parties into driving to Hartford to see the annual Concorso Ferrari on the grounds of the state capitol. And for three years, I didn’t go for one perfectly good reason or another.
Finally this year yours went to what was billed as the largest assembly of Ferraris on the east coast. That claim’s certainly plausible. There were Daytonas, F355s, F430s, Mondials, 330GTs, Testarossas, the new California, and the odd Maserati and Bentley – to name a few.
All told, more than 100 prancing horses were said to be in attendance.
Ferrari Club of America’s New England chapter coordinated the party faithful. And the event – held in honor of the Connecticut Children’s Hospital – included a parade through downtown Hartford followed by a judging on the grounds of the capitol.
A lovely afternoon and worth the trip. Pics to follow.

If Hartford were a child, its mother would need to hang a pork chop around its next to get the dog to play with it. Hartford a larger Springfield.

Jim & Distiller – Hartford’s OK. Has some surprisingly good facets much like Columbus or Pittsburgh. And it could’ve been worse, the event could’ve been held in Providence.

Nonetheless a pasture populated with an incomparable (generous and big-hearted) herd!
