Park Place Dealerships’ Selection Committee has extended registration for the second annual Park Place Luxury & Supercar Showcase, to be held Saturday, October 13, 2018, at the Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas at Las Colinas. The Collectors’ Concours is our first stop on the #RoadtoSupercar.
“We were thrilled with the cars that participated in our inaugural event last year,” said Jed Siddle, Park Place Premier Collection Parts Manager and a member of the Selection Committee for the Park Place Luxury & Supercar Showcase. “This year, we are expanding the Collectors Showcase onto the fairway of the TPC Four Seasons Championship golf course. We’ve increased the number of classes and the number of awards as well. We’ll also have a Club Concours for car clubs to participate and engage with other car enthusiasts.” Registration is now open.
