Car lovers at the Grand Prix Festival of Watkins Glen know it’s not the size that counts. The popularity of the Keystone Cards Model Car Concours d’Elegance is evidence of that.

The Model Car Concours is an exhibition of cars in miniature, featuring die-cast and plastic models of all scales and marques.

Many of these cars are exact reproductions of the original, with some featuring working suspension and steering. All the cars were built by local craftsman and are part of their private collections.

Upwards of 200 modelers enter pieces for display in five classes, and festival attendees vote for their favorite entry. Stop by and choose your favorite from among this year’s entries.

Modelers will be on hand throughout the day to discuss their work.

The Model Car Concours d’Elegance is located at the entrance to the Watkins Glen State Park on Franklin Street, very close to the Chemung Canal Trust Co. Concours d’Elegance.

The exhibition will open at 10 a.m.
