The 20th anniversary of the Hilton Head Island Concours D’ Elegance kicked off with beautiful weather this year making up for last year’s cold and nearly rained-out venue. For the 2022 show, the field was vast featuring hundreds of collector vehicles from around the country presented at the unique and exclusive motoring festival on the beautiful island of Hilton Head, SC.
The Automotive Addicts team was on sight to take in the glory of seeing some of the most coveted and exclusive vehicles over the weekend. We captured a variety of automobiles, boats, and some one-off creations and were able to make new friends who are just as passionate as we are about celebrating the automobile. We have a collection of highlighted vehicles in our images gallery that we hope you enjoy and get a taste of what the Hilton Head Island Concours D’ Elegance is all about.
Also, don’t forget that you can get discounted new car pricing with a free quote through qualified local dealer partners.
We welcome you to join us in the future years of attending this one-of-a-kind motoring festival!
