The Capital Presented by CarCoterie
CityCenterDC Partners with CarCoterie to Bring ‘The Capital’ to Washington, DC For the First Time
CarCoterie creates unique automotive events for collectors and enthusiasts of rare and vintage cars in
exclusive locations across the country; CityCenterDC will be the host of this inaugural one-day-only
exhibition on June 15
Washington, DC (May 13, 2024) – CityCenterDC, one of the nation’s top luxury retail destinations, today
announces its 2024 partnership with CarCoterie, curators of the world-class automotive exhibitions, to
host some of the world’s most exciting rare and classic cars in the heart of Washington, D.C. On Saturday,
June 15, a carefully curated display of 25 automobiles ranging from vintage to hyper will be showcased
throughout CityCenterDC, where attendees will have the opportunity to view these unique automobiles
and interact with fellow car enthusiasts.
CarCoterie enters the DC market by partnering with CityCenterDC in what will be their inaugural event
together. With these coveted vehicles positioned alongside top high-end retailers, the collaboration
brings together seamlessly the high-end fashion and luxury automotive worlds.
“We are thrilled to expand CarCoterie’s footprint and bring our one-of-a-kind curated mix of vintage
sports cars and modern exotica to the beautiful CityCenterDC,” says CarCoterie Co-Founder Jeffrey
Einhorn. “The luxury destination’s stunning structural lines provide an ideal backdrop for our
carchitecture display. The unique vehicles CarCoterie is known for sourcing will be an exhibition that
collectors and connoisseurs will surely appreciate.”
CarCoterie caters to communities of collectors and rare car enthusiasts around the globe. The unique,
elevated, and inspired exhibitions feature exceptional cuisine, fine wine & spirits, and live music
alongside a broad spectrum of exciting and rare classic and collector cars, designed to delight even the
most seasoned connoisseur. In March, another CarCoterie event, The Hangar Amelia Island, was dubbed
the island’s “party of the weekend” in its second year, bringing the group’s signature flair to Florida in
conjunction with one of the biggest automotive weekends in the country. It showcases vintage planes
and modern jets alongside an unrivaled automotive display. CityCenterDC’s The Capital will add a new
destination for car enthusiasts to visit in what will become an annual event.
“CityCenterDC is known for its elevated, yet welcoming public programming and we are excited to host
CarCoterie’s inaugural automotive showcase, The Capital, this year,” said Timothy R. Lowery, Vice
President at Hines and the General Manager of CityCenterDC. “The day promises to be a memorable one
with rare and vintage cars on view right in our Plaza. There has long been an exciting synergy between
the high-fashion and luxury automotive worlds. We’re excited to bring these two sophisticated
communities together for this high-profile event.”
Further enhancing the event’s juxtaposition of luxury and automotive, the Miami-based artist RioCam
will display a gallery of his edgy artwork at CityCenterDC. His contemporary photographic images
combine style and high fashion with cars, and the striking image used for the inaugural event’s invitation,
featuring a Ferrari 512TR, does just that.
Partners of the event include: Conrad Washington, DC and Seven Reasons. For more details on The
