Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance











The final leg of our road trip took us to Jacksonville, FL for a stop at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Despite getting a late start due to our "adventures in air travel" (See previous blog), we arrive at Amelia Island early in the afternoon and had a terrific time. The variety of outstanding automobiles was stunning, far too many to report on individually however, there were several that we took special note of. They included a beautiful, black Mercedes Gullwing, a terrific Duesenberg with curved side louvers, a sleek Lamborghini Miura and of course the show's main attraction, the "Phantom Corsair".




The weather for the day was perfect, it was warm and sunny with a slight breeze....a nice break from the remnants of the Pittsburgh winter.




The event seemed to be very well attended and well run with parking shuttles moving people about all day. Stay tuned, we'll be back with some more details and pictures from the trip. In the meantime, check out the photos of the cars mentioned above.
