TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagerty today announced plans to host next year's 43rd annual Concours d'Elegance of America in Detroit in September 2022. The hub of the multi-location experience will be the Detroit Institute of Arts, the cultural epicenter of the country's automotive capital. This year's event takes place July 23-25 at the Inn at St. John's in Plymouth, its host for a decade. Further details on the event's 2022 plans, including show dates, will be announced in the months prior.

L to R: Salvador Salort-Pons, Director, President and CEO, Detroit Institute of Arts; Larry Moss, Chairman, Concours d’Elegance of America; and McKeel Hagerty, CEO, Hagerty present the Detroit Institute of Art as the home of the Concours of America beginning in September 2022.

"We're announcing two meaningful changes today – rescheduling from July to September and repositioning from the suburbs to downtown," said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. "This move honors Detroit's heritage as a hub of commerce, industry, design and culture. We couldn't think of a better place to recognize the automobile than the Detroit Institute of Arts. It, and its 65,000 works of art, serve as the perfect backdrop as we celebrate the automobile – another signature achievement of mankind."
