You’ll see my coverage of Amelia Island – both the concours and the two auctions – over the next few months in our various magazines, but what we never typically o in our show coverage is go out to the parking lots to see what interesting vehicles were driven to the show. So I spent a few minutes snapping some pics on the way to my rental car. I see quite a few media passes hanging from the rearviews here, and I’m pretty sure that Ferrari appeared in the concours itself the next …

Being a founding sponsor of the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance that took place on the grounds of the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island from March 12-14, 2010, there was no way that Mercedes-Benz would let the opportunity to bring together the original 300 SL Gullwing Coupe with its modern-day successor, the SLS AMG, slip away.

Once I was done snapping photos at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, Geoff Hacker enlisted my help in presenting his Bill Burke bellytank dry lakes racer (Geoff curated the Forgotten Fiberglass class at the show and was thus otherwise occupied), something I gladly did, along with Ted Kempgens, one of the builders of the bellytank.
