The Amelia to Celebrate Unique Cars and Featured Classes

The Amelia, now entering its 27th consecutive year, continues to enhance its north Florida footprint as it looks forward to a bright future. Returning to the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, as it has every year since its inception in 1996, the world-renowned Concours d'Elegance has expanded Saturday's Cars & Caffeine™ event with the new Kids Zone as well as RADwood and Concours d'Lemons exhibitions.

Sunday's traditional show field will be anchored by classes such as American Classics, Duesenbergs, rare Japanese automobiles, and the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the '32 Ford.

Featured classes include race cars from the 70th Anniversary of Sebring. The notoriously bumpy 12-Hour race in central Florida, still run over parts of a concrete World War II airbase, has long been considered a true test of endurance. The 1952 Cunningham C4-R entry showcases the automotive ingenuity still needed to compete seven decades later.

The Rare Aluminum Porsche Race Car class highlights the earliest efforts from the then young sports car manufacturer and includes a 1951 Le Mans class winner. The 1955 Type 550 Spyder entry is an ideal example for the class as it is one of just 90 produced.

The Waterhouse Coachworks class brings attention to a small Custom Coach Builder from Webster, Massachusetts. While its run was cut short after only five years thanks to the Great Depression, this 1930 Packard 745 Deluxe Eight entry features one of approximately 296 bodies from the Waterhouse Company.

Tickets are available at https://www.ameliaconcours.com/event/tickets and every pass purchased for Sunday's Amelia Concours d'Elegance automatically includes complimentary admission to Saturday's Cars & Community presented by Griot's Garage (up to a $20 value), helping to provide additional resources to local community charities.
