Beverly, Mass., July 18, 2022 – The 12th annual Misselwood Concours d’Elegance welcomed over 100 cars and motorcycles to the ocean front Misselwood Estate on the campus of Endicott College. The annual fundraising event helps raise funds for Endicott College students, with all proceeds going directly to support students in need. The weather, cars, and people made the 2022 show truly spectacular.
Peter T. Boyle’s 1928 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A SS would be crowned Best of Show when all was said and done. Chassis No. 1353 was built in Italy in 1928 and was then sent to American coachbuilder LeBaron to produce the gorgeous boattail cabriolet body with a single rumble seat that took everyone’s breath away on Sunday. It was purchased new by aviation pioneer Harry Williams and his wife Marguerite Clark, a silent movie star whose looks inspired Walt Disney’s Snow White. This car is a wonderful piece of history with only 22,000 original miles.
“What an incredible weekend of events, from the Cars & Coffee, to the Tour d’Elegance, to the main show on Sunday, everything went so smooth, the weather played a huge factor and for that I’m thankful,” said Darren P. Stewart, Misselwood Concours d’Elegance Chairman. “I have a vision of what the Misselwood Concours can and will become and this year part of that vision became a reality, if you weren’t here to witness what this show has become, please mark the date July 23, 2023 on your calendar!”
