St. Armands Circle saw some extra vehicle traffic on Oct. 14.

But not the kind that stalls traffic. The kind that stalls automobile enthusiasts.

The Sun Coast Jaguar Club hosted its 32nd Annual Concours d’Elegance on Oct. 14. St. Armands residents and visitors walked around the parking looking at various Jaguar automobiles from around the country, including vintage antiques and current classics.

The automobiles will be judged at 3 p.m., and winners will be announced at 4 p.m.
