Bizarre cars

[sjordan2]

This year's Concours d'Elegance at Amelia Island featured some truly unusual one-off cars from long ago, plus many other cars of interest. Slide show here:

Wow! Jaws On The Ground! Some fantastic classic, vintage, and race cars! I've never seen a Petty Enterprise collection that big. And that Norman Timbs Special is one of the sleekest rolling sculptures I have ever seen! This show had something for most everyone. Thanks for sharing.

just WoW!

Yeah, the real jaw-dropper here is the array of Richard Petty cars (though a Lee Petty car is at his museum).

I go to the show every year. It's always amazing, and I'm glad to live within fairly easy driving distance.

Stock cars at a Concourse D'Elegance? If you can enter a stock car in a Concourse D'Elegance, it was either not properly raced, or it isn't a proper Concourse D'Elegance where I'm from.

Amelia Island generally has a theme; many important cars are there for exhibition only, and not necessarily entered for competition.

Important cars? The only important car is the one that brings one forth and back to work every day. And this would in my case qualify for a Concourse D'Elegance over here even less than a stock car, trust me.
