Endicott College’s picturesque Misselwood Estate will host the 16th annual Misselwood Concours d’Elegance from July 17 to July 19, 2026, welcoming collectors, enthusiasts, and automotive luminaries from across North America to Boston’s North Shore.
This year’s event will also honor Massachusetts automotive icon, entrepreneur, musician, and philanthropist Ernie Boch Jr. as the 2026 Distinguished Patron of the Misselwood Concours d’Elegance.
Known throughout New England for transforming the region’s automotive industry, Boch has built a legacy that extends beyond cars into music, philanthropy, and the arts. As CEO of Subaru of New England and steward of one of the region’s most influential automotive enterprises, Boch has long been a champion of automotive culture and community engagement.
“Ernie Boch Jr. represents the spirit of Misselwood Concours in every sense,” said Endicott College President Bryan Cain, Ph.D. “His passion for automotive history, commitment to philanthropy, and larger-than-life presence have made an enduring impact throughout New England. We are thrilled to honor him as this year’s Distinguished Patron.”
This year’s Misselwood Concours featured classes include a Celebration of Chrysler, Orphan Cars of the 1940s, and BMW Sport Coupes:
- Celebration of Chrysler Presented by Windover: A tribute to the enduring legacy, groundbreaking engineering, and forward-thinking styling of the Chrysler Corporation and its storied divisions.
- Orphan Cars of the 40s: Honoring the fascinating, innovative—and often short-lived—marques that did not survive the rapid post-war transition and industry consolidation.
- BMW Sport Coupes Presented by Vintage Sports & Recreation: Celebrating the iconic models that defined a new niche, balancing sophisticated performance, luxury, and distinctive design.
Funds raised from the Misselwood Concours d’Elegance directly support Endicott College’s Inspire Scholarship, which provides first-generation college students the opportunity to experience Endicott College’s cutting-edge experiential, professional, and liberal arts programs.
During the 2025–26 academic year, Inspire Scholarships totaling more than $855,000 were awarded to 56 students. Since the scholarship’s establishment in 2019, nearly $3 million has been awarded to 98 students.
