2026 Grand Marshal Paul Russell: Celebrating a Career of Automotive Craftsmanship
Paul Russell is passionately committed to preserving great examples of automotive design and honoring their original construction details. His underlying goal is to reproduce period construction techniques so that future generations of restorers can see cars as they were originally conceived and built. He founded Paul Russell and Company in 1978 with the ambition to have a small shop employing the best people capable of doing the highest quality work in the industry. As a result, Russell has restored 52 Best of Show winners including four at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, four at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, one at The Amelia Concours and seven and Cavallino Classic. Among the iconic restorations taken on by Russell are the 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic and the 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK "Count Trossi."

A selection of Paul Russell-restored masterpieces will be on display during The Greenwich Concours including:

  • 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO: Chassis 3413 GT is the third 250 GTO built, completed at the factory on April 30, 1962, in Rosso Cina over blue, with matching engine and chassis numbers. Within days of completion, the car was on the circuit in Sicily, serving as the practice car for the 1962 Targa Florio in the hands of Phil Hill and Ferrari engineer Mauro Forghieri. After a 1964 factory conversion by Carrozzeria Scaglietti to Series II specs, it returned to the Targa Florio to finish fifth overall and first in class, continued racing with further wins in 1965 and was ultimately restored in 2022 by Paul Russell and Company.
  • 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL: Introduced in 1954 from the Le Mans-winning W194 race program at the urging of importer Max Hoffman, the SL is one of the most significant postwar road cars, pioneering direct fuel injection and a race-derived spaceframe chassis. Its iconic gullwing doors became its defining visual signature, and with just 1,400 built through 1957, it was the fastest production car of its era, capable of nearly 160 mph. This example is finished in a rare light metallic blue over a classic interior pairing leather with Karo plaid fabric inserts, reflecting its competition-inspired character.
  • 1938 Talbot-Lago T-150-C SS: The short, lightweight, competition-bred chassis, was the pinnacle of French sporting design in the late 1930s, forming the basis of Talbot's grand prix program. In 1938, Joseph Figoni clothed two of these chassis in his iconic teardrop cabriolet design, with chassis 90111 being the first. Delivered new to Paris merchant Michael Dassonville, the car later passed through several notable owners, including American collector Vojta Mashek, before being restored to its original 1938 configuration by Paul Russell and Company in 2019.

The 2026 Greenwich Concours supports nonprofit partners including Greenwich Parks and Recreation, Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich, Kids In Crisis and Junior League of Greenwich. Additionally, 50 local youth between the ages of 5 and 17 will join the events in a Junior Judging program designed to teach children the dynamic world of automotive technology, design and performance.

The Greenwich Concours would not be possible without our dedicated sponsors who continue to show support for the event and the local car community. Many thanks to BMW, Copart, Ferretti Yachts, FlyHouse, Lotus, Mobil 1, Mohegan Sun Online Casino, Old Fitzgerald, Reliable Carriers and Rivian.
