Endicott College proudly announces the successful conclusion of its 15th annual Misselwood Concours d’Elegance, held July 18–20, 2025. The main car show and judging took place on Sunday, July 20, at the college’s stunning oceanfront campus in Beverly, Massachusetts. This milestone year marked a significant celebration of automotive excellence, community spirit, and the establishment of a new tradition recognizing outstanding contributions to the automotive world.
The 2025 Misselwood Concours drew more than 1,000 enthusiasts, collectors, and spectators who came to admire a meticulously curated collection of classic, antique, and exotic automobiles and motorcycles. The picturesque setting offered a breathtaking backdrop for 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 competing for top honors across various categories.
“Celebrating our 15th year was truly special,” said Bryan Cain, Ph.D., Acting President of Endicott College. “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 event and for their commitment to our students’ success.”
One of the most anticipated moments of this year’s event was the introduction of the Misselwood Concours d’Elegance Distinguished Patron Award, created to honor individuals demonstrating exceptional dedication to the automotive world, community involvement, and a legacy rooted in family and passion.
The inaugural recipient was Brian Kelly, President and Owner of the Kelly Automotive Group. A North Shore native, Kelly began his journey in the automotive industry at the age of 13, working on his father’s used car lot. With entrepreneurial drive and an unwavering work ethic, he built the Kelly Automotive Group into one of North America’s top 150 dealer groups, now 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.”
Capping off the automotive showcase was the prestigious Best of Show award, presented to Mark and Carolynne Coriglianno of Peapack, New Jersey, for their magnificent 1921 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Phaeton (Tourer). Celebrated for its original body, matching numbers, and its distinction as the oldest known Springfield production model, the vehicle was restored in 2016 by Vintage and Auto Rebuilds. It stood as a shining example of enduring luxury and craftsmanship.
The weekend concluded with the traditional awards ceremony, honoring the finest vehicles in each class. A full list of category winners is available at misselwood.com/concours-delegance/winners. Proceeds from the event continue to support the Inspire Scholarship, which provides vital financial aid to first-generation college students at Endicott College.
