Much as Speed Weeks at Daytona have heralded the start of a new racing season, so has the Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance come to symbolize the beginning of a new year of fine car shows. This superb event over time has secured a position as one of the best in the country.
This year only added to the event’s stellar reputation for high quality with an astonishingly diverse group of automobiles. Beyond the featured models of Porsche 911, Ford GT, Miller racing cars and Ducati motorcycles, the sheer variety of seldom seen makes provided a non-stop visual feast for spectators.
Such one-off’s as Edsel Ford’s 1932 Speedster, Joe Bortz’s two 1955 LaSalle GM concept cars and the only original Lamborghini Miura Roadster in captivity only hint at the seemingly endless quantity of unique vehicles on the show field.
Over the next few weeks, the Old Motor will be featuring the fine photos of this event shot by frequent contributor Alan Gosley. In a true case of one picture being worth a thousand words, we hope that his pictures will adequately convey the impact of this impressive display of quality cars.
More of Gosley’s work can be seen of the 2013 Amelia Island Concours at Part I. All of his earlier work on The Old Motor can be seen here (scroll down). And stay tuned for more very soon.

It was our first visit to the Amelia Concours this year and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather, the setting, and the variety and quality of the cars were all outstanding. We also were able to preview the RM auction cars and see some of the auction. Looked like prices were very strong. All in all a great event in a terrific location.
Lloyd, Glad you made it and enjoyed it. The weather this year was the best it has been in a long time and Sunday was sunny and warm. The cars on the field were outstanding as usual.
