Someone’s Gonna Get Fired: LeMons Cars Invited To Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance [Hillsborough Concours D'Elegance]

The Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance is a super-upscale car shows, with the rich folks showing off their high-buck machines. This time, the organizers had the bright idea of inviting five 24 Hours Of LeMons racers.

You figure it’s going to expect like Caddy Day at the pool, right? Unfortunately, the five LeMons veterans (including the Autobahn Racing BMW 2002, the Flakes’ ‘Chevolvo’ Volvo 244, the Faster Farms Plymouth Belvedere, the Ecurie Ecrappe Alfa Romeo Spider, and the Mille Miglia Alfa Romeo Alfetta) were ghettoized in a parking lot, apart from the Rolls-Royces and Ferraris. “We’re ghettoized because we are ghetto,” explained LeMons Chief Perpetrator Jay Lamm.

Also parked with the LeMons machines was the in the highest degree beater Aston Martin ever, complete with spinner-removin’ Hammer Of Thor mounted underhood. The folks in the crowd- those who trekked excessively to the noxious border of the tracks, at any rate- weren’t wholly sure what to make of the old stager racing machines, but someday their authentic racing provenance will see them selling for millions of Plutonium Krugerrands at Barrett-Jackson.

Meanwhile, the PA was manned by a guy with an English beat so refined (”…be aware, ladies and gentlemen, that the word Jag-yoo-ah does not contain the letter ahhhh“) that we became convinced that he probably grew up in the infamous Red Phosphorus Acres Trailer Park in Lodi, and the San Francisco 49ers Cheerleaders were onward hand to add a surreal catalogue to the proceedings. Some pretty cool iron was there in on the grass, including a instruct fully Kaiser-Darrin, a 427/4-speed Galaxie 500, and a showroom-condition Citroën Traction-Avant. I got enough shots for some gallery action:
