91ÖØ¿Ú proudly announces the successful conclusion of its 15th annual Misselwood Concours d'Elegance, held from July 18–20, 2025, with the main car show and judging taking place on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at the stunning oceanfront campus in Beverly, Mass. This milestone year marked a significant celebration of automotive excellence, community spirit, and the establishment of a new tradition of recognizing outstanding contributions to the automotive world.
The 2025 Misselwood Concours d'Elegance drew more than 1,000 enthusiasts, collectors, and spectators who marveled at a meticulously curated collection of classic, antique, and exotic automobiles and motorcycles. The picturesque setting provided a breathtaking backdrop for the diverse array of vehicles, including this year’s featured classes—the Cars of Harley Earl, a Celebration of Jaguar, and Vehicles with Long-Term Ownership (40 years or more)—all vying for top honors in various categories.
“Celebrating our 15th year was truly special,” said Bryan Cain, Ph.D., Acting President of 91ÖØ¿Ú. “The Misselwood Concours d'Elegance has grown into a premier event, showcasing incredible automotive artistry at an unrivaled coastal college. More importantly, the proceeds directly impact our first-generation students through the Inspire Scholarship, providing vital access to higher education and empowering future leaders. We are immensely grateful to all our participants, sponsors, and attendees for making this a record-breaking year and for their commitment to our students’ success.”
A highlight of this year’s event was the introduction of the Misselwood Concours d’Elegance Distinguished Patron Award, created to recognize individuals demonstrating outstanding dedication to the automotive world, community engagement, and a legacy built on family and passion.
The inaugural recipient was Brian Kelly, President/Owner of Kelly Automotive Group. A North Shore native, Kelly’s journey in the automotive industry began at age 13 on his father’s used car lot. His entrepreneurial spirit, evident from a young age, propelled him to build the Kelly Automotive Group into one of North America's top 150 dealer groups, representing nine franchises across seven locations and employing more than 400 people.
“Brian Kelly’s story is an inspiring testament to what can be achieved through unwavering dedication and a commitment to people,” added Dr. Cain. “He embodies the spirit of this award, reminding us that true success is about the journey and those you bring along for the ride. We were honored to recognize him as our first Distinguished Patron.”
The pinnacle of the automotive showcase, the Best of Show award, was presented to Mark & Carolynne Coriglianno of Peapack, N.J., for their stunning 1921 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Phaeton (Tourer). This exquisite vehicle, a testament to enduring luxury and impeccable craftsmanship, proudly claims the Best of Show title, celebrated for its original body, matching numbers, and remarkable distinction as the oldest extant Springfield production car, masterfully restored in 2016 by Vintage and Auto Rebuilds.
The 15th Annual Misselwood Concours d'Elegance concluded with the traditional awards ceremony, celebrating the finest vehicles in each class.
