AMELIA ISLAND, FL – MARCH 4, 2024
Amelia Island’s party of the weekend did not disappoint as eventgoers strolled through a striking display of rare and notable cars artfully displayed across the tarmac, alongside vintage planes and sleek modern jets. Vehicle showstoppers included the 1966 Ferrari 206 S Dino, 1955 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing, 1966 Porsche 906, and 1987 Porsche 962, as well as a large stable of super and hypercars. Highlights from this year’s curated exhibition also included historic aircraft such as a 1938 Lockheed 12A and an Albatross N51ZD.
The sunset aperitivo took place on the eve of the 29th annual Amelia Concours d’Elegance at the spectacular Bent Wing Flight Services, Fernandina Beach. The spirited party featured live music, fine wines from Hampton Water, expertly mixed cocktails, and delicious light bites. Limited tickets were available for purchase, with a portion of sales benefitting Friends of Fernandina Aviation.
Partners for the event included VistaJet, who displayed two aircraft from their impressive business jet fleet, a Challenger 350 and a Gulfstream G450. Roger Dubuis brought a collection of rare contemporary hyper horlogerie for guests to view, including their just-released new Excalibur Spider Pirelli, fueled by adrenaline and crafted with winning motorsport tire rubber. For a fun twist, guests were invited to compete at their “pit stop” and race against the clock to swap out the timepiece colorway—meanwhile, automotive partners included Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, who displayed three vehicles, including the new Spectre Coupé; and McLaren, who displayed the 750S and their next-generation hybrid supercar, the Artura. Grech Motors showcased its LUSSO Luxury Mercedes Sprinter Executive Van.
