Lincoln sponsors 20th annual Concours d’Elegance

Tim Allen, executive director of the Assessment and Treatment Services

Center, announced recently that Lincoln will be the presenting sponsor of

the 20th annual Newport Coast Concours d’Elegance.

The 2002 Concours, geared toward helping children and families

involved in the center, will be Lincoln’s fifth time sponsoring a

Concours.

“Sponsorship of a Concours like this one brings us close to the

customers who buy and appreciate our vehicles, both current and past,”

Lincoln Promotions Manager Robert Witter said in a press release.

For the second year in a row, AutoWeek Magazine will join Lincoln as a

participating sponsor.

“We are truly excited to join Lincoln as a sponsor of this prestigious

Concours d’Elegance and to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the

classic event,” said Steve Bottom, western advertising manager for

AutoWeek.

The Concours is a major automotive event, with roughly 200 cars

including antiques, European and American classics from the 1920s and

‘30s, sports and muscle cars from the ‘50s and ‘60s and various race

cars.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 6 at Hidden

Valley at Irvine Meadows in Irvine.
