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

Where can you support a cure for diabetes and drool over cars, including one that goes zero to 60 in 2.2 seconds?

The Porsche 918 Spyder, a rare hybrid that is the fastest accelerating car in the world, will be on display on Sunday at the seventh annual Gold Coast Concours/ Bimmerstock in Downtown Glen Cove.

Downtown Glen Cove will be closed for the day as classic racers, super exotics, limited-edition cars and specialty one-off vehicles like Ferraris, Rolls Royces, Porsches, Mercedes and customized BMWs will be on display from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Over the past seven years, Gold Coast Concours/Bimmerstock has raised more than $338,000 to benefit the Diabetes Research Institute. This year’s event hopes to raise $100,000.00 for the DRI.

“It’s a great day for the community of Glen Cove, a great day for car buffs and a great day for the Diabetes Research Institute,” Joe LaPadula of Martino Auto Concepts said in a press release. “We are proud to support the Diabetes Research Institute and to help educate the public about this disease through this exciting event.”

Experts and patients will be on hand at the event to discuss a Florida woman who received a cell transplant that reversed her diabetes. Read her story on the Huffington Post.
