Dick Shappy receives The Award Of Merit for displaying his 1911 Indian and 1927 Super X Excelsior

2023 Audrain Concours d'Elegance and Motor Week

September 27 to October 1, 2023

The Audrain Mu­seum of New­port, Rhode Island knocked it out of the box again this year with the presentation of "Motor Week" which took place from Sep­tem­ber 27th to Oc­to­ber 1st. The public were treated to many seminars, tours, and cocktail parties. Bonhams sponsored an auction and guests enjoyed a huge banquet. The festivities were capped by the Con­cours d'Ele­gance on Sunday Oc­to­ber 1st.

A new class displaying motor­cycles was added to the Con­cours this year and I was asked to display my completely orig­inal 1911 Indian Single and my 1927 Super X "Big Bertha" Excelsior Hill Climber.
