Re: [Chrysler300] Why is the Convention Mid-Week ?





Hello 300’ly to all!
The mid-week rate is less expensive…confirmed by my getting ready to sign contract for the spring, 2019 meet I am hosting in Lewisville, Texas (Dallas).  It will be from Sunday April 28th to Thursday May 2nd (departure date).  Rate is $20 per night less and meeting room rental rate is $100 less.  More event times are available Monday through Wednesday also. So stay tuned for Riding to Dallas Folks!  Rob Kern

I'm willing to bet 1.00 USD that this is factually inaccurate. Just sayin'...

Now that most club members are retired, and I believe the last two meets were also during the week. The room rate was much less and tourism is much lighter during the week making it easier to get places. And like Gloria mentioned it was to work with the Hemmings Show.

Sure Ron,
Some 300 owners have been invited to show their 300s in the concours listed below as one of the featured marques.  So it was felt that a nice segue and non-competing meet would be to have one following the other- Chrysler 300 Club International Inc. and then nearby the 2018 Concours D' Elegance  ..  Here is the information on the Lake George Concours.  We hope you can attend both meets.

When: Friday, Sep 14, 2018 until Sunday, Sep 16, 2018 - 5:00 PM 
Cost: Variety of pricing for the weekend 

The 2018 Concours D' Elegance returns to Lake George and will be once again celebrating cars. This is a weekend for car collectors and people who love cars.
The Concours has maintained its focus presenting a balance of historic, classic and sports cars, along with vintage trucks and presentation vehicles. Recently, the show has also honored vintage fire apparatus, police cars and military vehicles. The show is presented by Gullwing Motor Cars.
Back by popular demand, Wayne Carini, accomplished automotive restorer and host of the popular television show Chasing Classic Cars, has been named Honorary Chairman and Keynote Speaker for the 12th annual Hemmings Motor News Concours d'Elegance..
This year's featured marques will be Prewar Cadillacs (1942 and older), followed by Chrysler 300 letter cars; the division's hot luxury performance cars that began with the 1955 C-300 and culminated with the 1965 300L. Joining these two domestic legends will be a stellar display of Lotus Road Cars, complemented by a class celebrating the Cars of Pininfarina. These six classes will be accompanied by our traditional pre-1974 classes, headlined by Full Classics (as recognized by the Classic Car Club of America), along with American pre- and postwar cars, American muscle cars, European cars, Vintage Trucks and Preservation cars.

All -
 
Can someone explain why the upcoming Newport convention is Sunday thru Thursday, rather than Wednesday thru Sunday, as it has been for decades ? This really plays havoc with folks that have to work during the week.
 
Thanks,
 
Ron
