Manhattan's First Concours at Brookfield Place

• MANHATTAN'S FIRST LUXURY CONCOURS LAUNCHED AT BROOKFIELD PLACE

• Presented by CHOPARD Swiss Watches, 1937 BMW 328 Takes 'Best of Show'

In a first for Manhattan, an exclusive collection of luxury cars competed in the inaugural Manhattan Concours on Saturday, May 18 at Brookfield Place - the shopping, dining and office destination on the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan. Showcased along Brookfield Place's picturesque waterfront plaza, the festival combined the top vehicles of today with the best-in-class from generations past for a weekend full of luxury, style, and culture.

'Arts Brookfield was delighted to present a timeless collection of vehicles to Lower Manhattan,' said Elysa Marden, Vice President, Arts Brookfield. 'It was a beautiful day at our waterfront plaza and it was wonderful to see so many members of the community stop by to enjoy Manhattan's first Concours.'

About 30 vehicles converged at the waterfront at Brookfield Place in Battery Park City to compete within individual categories, and the top five 'Best in Class' competed for the coveted 'Best of Show' award, which went to a 1937 BMW 328, judged by luxury car experts including Mark Moskowitz and Matt Orendac.

'We could not be any prouder of this inaugural event and we are humbled by the support of the entrants, judges, and partners. For any Concours, the cars are the stars, but the stunning venue of Brookfield Place certainly made them shine brighter,' said Jay Howard, President & CEO, CSM Production.
