Best of Show at Meadow Brook Concours Wins Again  	

Troy, Mich., February 19, 2008 ?The Meadow Brook Concours d?Elegance 
announces
that the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Spider Touring, Best of Show winner at its 
2007 world class auto event,
recently received the Louis Vuitton Classic Concours Award.  The 
unanimous choice among a field of
select competitors, this rare 1938 Alfa Romeo is owned by Ray Scherr of 
Westlake Village, California.

Regarded by collectors as one of the best sports cars of the pre-war 
period,
the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Spider Touring?s engine was designed by the 
legendary
Vittorio Jano.  It was bodied by Carlo Bianchi Anderloni of Carrozzeria 
Touring.
?This latest recognition is extremely exciting,? said Meadow Brook 
Concours
Event Chairman Larry Smith.  ?Not only does it pay tribute once again 
to a grand
automotive achievement, it underscores the fact that the Meadow Brook 
Concours
is an event that attracts the most elite collectors.?

The Meadow Brook Concours d?Elegance continues to enhance its 
reputation as
a premier automotive celebration by adding all-new activities to its 
wide array of
motoring events and parties.  Festivities begin on Thursday, July 31, 
2008, with
the return of last year?s hugely successful hangar party and culminate 
on Concours
Sunday, August 3 with the world-renowned exhibit and competition.

Making an exciting debut in 2008 is Destination d?Elegance which will 
be held
on the grounds of the grand Meadow Brook Hall. This one-of-a-kind 
experience
will feature Bistro d?Elegance, Shoppes on the Green, and lifestyle 
seminars
such as State of Ferrari Collecting and Italian Wine Tasting.  
According to
Concours Executive Director Matthew de Larcinese, ?This will be a rare
opportunity for local, national and international specialty vendors as 
well as
culinary masters to display their latest products and masterpieces in a 
setting
that only a Meadow Brook Concours can provide.?

Destination d?Elegance will kickoff on August 1 with the Club Concours
Next Gen Preview Party, during which young professionals can stroll 
through
eateries, enjoy live music and be the first to see the event?s vintage 
and concept cars.

Other activities include a high performance motoring tour and a Ride 
and Drive to be
held in conjunction with the RM Classic Car Auction on August 1. Also 
confirmed
for 2008 are features such as significant Ferraris, 8 litre Bentleys, 
the 100th Anniversary
of General Motors, 16 cylinder cars, vintage motorcycles with sidecars, 
the Class of
1933 and the 100th Anniversary of the Model T.

The Meadow Brook Concours d?Elegance is one of the world's most 
prestigious
automotive events, held on the grounds of Meadow Brook Hall, a 1920's 
Tudor-revival
mansion built by the widow of John Dodge.
