Car Buffs to Flock to Gold Coast Concours/Bimmerstock in Glen Cove

Where else can you support a cure for diabetes and drool over exotic sports cars?

A variety of sports cars, fine European vehicles and custom classics will be on display Sunday at the eighth annual Gold Coast Concours/ Bimmerstock in Downtown Glen Cove.

Downtown Glen Cove will be closed for the day as car buffs flock the streets to check out the cars on display from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Over the past eight years, Gold Coast Concours/Bimmerstock has raised more than $411,000 to benefit the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI).

“If you told me years ago that we would raise almost half a million dollars for DRI through this event, I would not have believed it but that’s exactly where we are today and I couldn’t be prouder,” event chair Joe LaPadula said in a press release. “Each year I’m happy to see this event grow and we appreciate the support of sponsors and car owners for driving in serious cash for diabetes research.”

The event is chaired by LaPadula and Jon Holzer of Martino Auto Concepts/Exotics4Life.com with support from Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton and the generosity of the car community.

Gold Coast Concours/Bimmerstock is sponsored by Martino Auto Concepts, Exotics4Life.com, BMW of Freeport, Ai Media, Competition BMW, Rallye BMW/Rallye Lexus, Enterprise, Downtown Café, The Chironis Family, Deluxe Car Storage, Experience Auto Group, Long Island Sports Cars, Mobile Sudz and PPG Single Source with support from the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District.
