Jaguars Celebrated in Downtown Carrollton

jag

If there is an enthusiast that hasn’t at least once felt the emotional pull of a Jaguar that enthusiast – I’d argue – doesn’t have a pulse. While your own garage – or, more likely, head – may be filled with German, Italian or Detroit, there is something about a Jaguar’s appeal that is enduring across a wide spectrum of American society. And if you buy into that, you might wish to buy into this:

As a celebration of all things Jaguar, few events in North Texas do it better than the 2016 Jaguar Concours d’Elegance – you know, a gathering of elegance, washed down with buckets of Coors. Hosted by the Jaguar Owners Association of North Texas (JOANT), this year’s event takes place (for the first time) in the center of historic Old Town Carrollton. The event is similar in concept to the Italian CarFest held on September 10th in Grapevine, except this is made up of Jag-u-ars – and it’s in Carrollton.

Expect a nice gathering of older and newer Jaguars, in drophead, coupe and sedan configurations. The event begins at 9:00 a.m. (best viewing is probably between 11:00 and 1:00) and concludes at 3:00. And as you’d guess, Carrollton’s historic district offers a number of areas to grab a bite to eat or, uh, something with which to wash that bite down; failing that, you can always bring your own spot of tea…and perhaps a biscuit.
