Early March is an inhospitable time in most North American locations that are not in Florida. This is why the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, which kicked off the annual classic-car-show season for the 18th time this past weekend, takes place in the Sunshine State. Like its thoroughbred stable-mate, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Amelia (as it’s called by the cognoscenti) is a convocation of the global lifestyle elite, organized—as these things often are—around indulgences devourable, imbibable, golfable, and swimmable.

Being righteously abstemious, we were there solely for the drivables. (Ha!) And this year, once again, they did not disappoint, either in their unparalleled beauty or in their connection to the well known and well heeled (or nearly so). Herein, please find our second annual collection of pedigreed vehicles from the field and auctions at Amelia.
