Brass Era Cars: 1895 to 1915 ​

At the Greenbrier Concours d'Elegance we define the "Brass Era Cars: 1895 to 1915" class of cars as vehicles from the early period of automotive manufacturing, named for the prominent brass trim used during this time for such things as lights and radiators. It is generally considered to encompass 1896 through 1915, a time when these vehicles were often referred to as horseless carriages.  
​
​Elsewhere in the world, England in particular,  this period is further refined by antique car enthusiasts to consist of two classes called  "Veteran" (pre-1904), and "Edwardian" (1905- 1914) eras.
This  period from roughly 1905 through to 1914 and the beginning of World War I is referred to as the Edwardian era in Europe, but in the United States is often known as the Brass era from the widespread use of brass in vehicles during this time.

If you have any questions about this class, please feel free to contact our Chief Judge Paul Ianuario via email pai01@aol.com.  If you would like to submit your car for consideration please click the button below.
