1960 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe.


This is truly a spectacular car show. It took founder Bill Warner two decades to make this once-regional concours into a world class event, and he has exceeded beyond everyone’s – and we bet his own, too – wildest imagination.

What makes the Amelia Island Concours so special, so unique, is the variety of cars that make up the huge show field. From ultra-rare one-off prototypes to cars that were once produced on a mass scale, to limited-production sports cars, Classic cars, historic race cars and finely crafted hot rods of distinction, the scope of this event will simply amaze you. Without question this is one car show that you really must attend at least once in your lifetime.
