FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEDIA CONTACT:  Bernard Martin

MORGANTOWN, WV. - Concours LLC is excited to announce the launch of a new ongoing series of videos entitled "Through the Gears". The video series captures the history and backstories of people and cars in the Concours, Car Show and Racing Communities.

According to Wayne Long, "The inception for this was when we where developing the Greenbrier Concours d"Elegance. We captured some video history that Roy Sjoberg was explaining over cigars with Paul Ianuario.  Bernie and I talked about how no one was really capturing the backstory on automotive development. It grew from there."

Through the Gears Concours LLC
"Wayne's spot on," says Bernard Martin, "and then the idea evolved,  Given what we do, we are often privy to some wonderful stories and anecdotes that later become the stuff of legend. Ferrari's adoption of the Cavallino Rampante is a great example:  Many are familiar with the story of how Ferrari was given the emblem of the fighter ace but few know the connection it has to Porsche. In this series we're not going to just talk cars, we're going to take a page out of James Burke's "Connections" series from the 1970's."

On "Through the Gears" your hosts will  talk about the stuff that most others forget to ask or don't think it's important to talk about. How did you family become involved in the industry? What where your influences? How did this come about? Why did you do this? The series will also take a deep dive into some iconic collector cars and the people who own them.  And , yes, of course we will still talk about cars!!
