Registration is now open for two events at the fifth annual Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, October 11-13, 2024: the Concours d’Elegance and the J. Willard Marriott Ferrari Club.

At Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance, fourteen classes will be judged by experts under the direction of chief judge Mike Tillson. “We will once again present a diverse collection of important and classic cars this year,” said Concours Director Ken Gross. “The quality and number of important cars that the festival has presented over the past four years can compete with the top events in the world of car collecting.”

We ask owners to register early to ensure this trend continues.”

Another highlight is the J. Willard Marriott Ferrari Club, located in a new exclusive location in the West Village. “We expect another outstanding display of world-class Ferraris from around the country that fans will enjoy,” said Steve Ahlgrim, the festival’s Ferrari coordinator. “Membership in the J. Willard Marriott Ferrari Club is open to Ferrari owners who can bring a great Ferrari to the show. Ferrari owners should sign up soon.”

Concours registration is open at the Concours d’Elegance – Chattanooga Motorcar Festival.
