SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The 8th annual Concours d'Elegance brings one-of-a kind vehicles to the Oliver Mansion lawn.

This two-day event featured many original cars from the James Bond movies, Amelia Earhart's Cord from the iconic photograph with her and her plane, and the only surviving Rickenbacker.

"This is the conclusion of what has grown into a two-day event, and so we're very excited for what it is. It's really our goal with this program is to do something that's really incredible on a national scale for the community and just support the community and give us all something to enjoy here in town," said Patrick Slebonick, the Executive Director of The Studebaker National Museum.

Slebonick continues to say, "Combining our car show on the grounds of this incredible historic mansion and combining all of those historic resources into one event just seemed like a perfect situation, and it's really grown legs and become an incredible event for our community."

This event also featured the Five Drivens event, which shows five unique cars from very significant national collections, including the JBS collection and the Singleton collection.

The 2026 Concours d’Elegance announced this year’s award winners.
