Legends of the V8 | Saturday, June 26, 2027
Eight cylinders. Two continents. One legendary era.
Join us at the Antique Boat Museum for the 2027 1000 Islands Concours d’Elegance, a celebration of classic automobiles, timeless design, and the golden age of the V8, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the St. Lawrence River.
This year’s theme, “Legends of the V8,” brings together American muscle and European elegance, highlighting the iconic cars, innovative engineering, and remarkable craftsmanship of the 1950s and 1960s. From Corvettes, Shelby Mustangs, and Cobras to European classics like the Sunbeam Tiger, Facel Vega, and Iso Grifo, discover the automobiles that helped define a generation.
The celebration extends beyond the road, exploring the surprising connections between automotive design and classic boating. Discover how V8 engines powered legendary wooden runabouts and see examples from the Museum’s collection.
Throughout the day, enjoy an impressive display of classic automobiles, Hagerty Youth Judging, awards, and a special automotive forum, “Two Continents, Eight Cylinders: The Golden Age of the V8.”
Whether you’re a lifelong car enthusiast or simply appreciate beautiful automobiles, join us for an unforgettable day celebrating the legends of the V8, both on the open road and on the River.
