David Kibbey

Starting in the Hagerty Youth Judging Program at age nine, David founded the Northville Concours d’Elegance in 2021 with fellow enthusiasts Chase Ziegler and Drew Lehnert. Based at Mill Race Historical Village, this unique event is the only known concours to exclusively feature youth judges, with forty young participants from across the country joining annually.

The event has raised over $50,000 since its inception, with proceeds supporting program operations. Aged 18, David combines university studies with hosting an automotive radio show on Radio Hillsdale, while maintaining involvement with a significant private car collection. His work demonstrates practical ways to engage young people in classic car appreciation and judging.
