Classic Cars, Fine Wine & Cool Design: The Duncan Quinn Appellation Rally

Filed under: Dining, Luxury Cars & Autos, Wine, Events, Men's Style, The Classicist

Dashing designer Duncan Quinn, known for his roguish take on Savile Row style, is hosting the ultimate gentleman's getaway on Saturday, March 26 for those who appreciate classic cars, fine wine and gourmet meals as much as razor-sharp threads. The Duncan Quinn Appellation Rally features a fleet of wicked wheels from Manhattan's Classic Car Club – including a 1968 Porsche 911, an AC Cobra, Austin Mini (think The Italian Job), Jaguar E-Type roadster, and Ferrari Dino (above) – leaving the city for an overnight jaunt to a 2,500 acre spread in upstate New York via scenic byways and state parks in one hell of a stylish convoy.

There guests will be treated to cocktails followed by an impressive meal from celebrated chef Neil Ferguson accompanied an amazing selection of vintage wines, retiring afterwards to rustic suites. Following breakfast on Sunday also by Ferguson there will be a spot of skeet shooting before another scenic drive back to town. "Tweeds are an option, but style is a must," Quinn tells us. There are only 14 spots on the list, and several have already been filled; the price is $2,000 for singles and $3,000 per couple including the cars and everything except gas and speeding tickets. Call the designer's New York store at 212 226-7030 to reserve.

It could well be taken as a sign that luxury is back (well, we say it never left) as the Classic Car Club of Manhattan opens a new location, taking over a turn-of-the-century carriage house on East 73rd Street in Manhattan. We first mentioned the club way back in 2005 when it opened its first location, shown above, handing over the keys to a fleet of vintage and modern classic automobiles to members.

It's not as flamboyant as the Gumball 3000 but if you are interested in a little less mileage and a lot of fun you might want to check out the Classic Car Club Manhattan's first ever rally. The club is taking twenty cars including a new Ford GT, a 355 Ferrari Spyder, a '67 Chevelle Super Sport and a customized '68 Lincoln Continental (shown here) to Miami in a little jaunt they call the Rally to Hell. Celebrity participants will be Dan and Justin Hawkins from the band, The Darkness and TLC's Overhaulin' co-host Chris Jacobs. The rally starts on May 18 and lasts three days. The finale is in Miami on May 20 and the participants will catch a flight back to New York on the May 21.
