The Saloons in the Old West Concours d' Elegance on
November 12th was held in downtown Chandler, AZ. The
Jaguar Club of Central Arizona did a great job and was very
hospitable. Several people traveled from California and Utah,
as well as other parts of Arizona, to attend the event. We stayed
at the San Marcos Golf Resort, a Crowne Plaza property,
which is a very nice destination hotel with many amenities
for all. We also enjoyed the heart of downtown Chandler
with many restaurants, pubs, and shops to explore. The event
itself took place in the plaza where the whole street was shut
down to traffic, and displayed all the classic Jaguars within the
Concours. In the evening there was a cocktail hour followed
by the banquet dinner, and then awards presentation. Classic
Showcase is proud of the 1966 E-Type Jaguar we restored,
which is now owned by Stan Elman. Stan received a perfect
score of 100 points, and won 1st place, as well as Best Exterior.
This win rounds out Stan's 2011 year with two consecutive 100
point scores, and three 1st place trophies! Congratulations Stan!
