As the calendar flips to March, the automotive world turns its eyes towards the picturesque setting of Amelia Island for the 29th Annual Amelia Concours d’Elegance. Scheduled for Sunday, March 3, 2024, this premier event is more than just a car show; it’s an immersive experience that draws enthusiasts, collectors, and families from around the globe. With an impressive lineup of over 260 historically significant vehicles spread across 35 bespoke classes, the event promises a day filled with automotive beauty, innovation, and history. Here’s what attendees can look forward to this year:
Bespoke Vehicle Classes
The heart of the Concours d’Elegance is its breathtaking display of vehicles, each with a story to tell. Among the 260+ vehicles, attendees will have the unique opportunity to witness rare and exquisite examples of automotive craftsmanship. From pioneering antiques that paved the way for modern motoring to the sleek and powerful supercars of the modern era, the variety is staggering. This year, the spotlight will shine on several specific classes, including Indy Legends and Porsche Rally Cars, offering a curated glimpse into the evolution of automotive design and technology.
Premier Resources for Collectors
The Amelia weekend is truly a hub for resources. Whether you’re in the market for financing your next vehicle in your collection, seeking the best insurance options, or looking for experts in the field of restoration, the event provides access to top-tier professionals. It offers a perfect opportunity for networking, learning, and securing the services needed to maintain or grow a collection.
Woodside invites you to visit our booths in the Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island (Friday, March 1 – Saturday, March 2) or on the main show field (Saturday, March 2 – Sunday, March 3) to learn more about your financing options with the Lowest Payments in America.
Fun for the Whole Family
The Amelia creates a great space for the next generation of auto enthusiasts. The Future Drivers Club is a kid-friendly zone packed with automotive activities to engage younger enthusiasts. In previous years, kids enjoyed a 40-foot slot car track and racing simulators. It’s safe to assume that this year’s activities will be equally impressive and enjoyable for the kiddos.
Awards Ceremony
The Amelia Concours d’Elegance culminates in an awards ceremony that is as much about celebration as it is about competition. This prestigious event honors the crème de la crème of the automotive world, with awards spanning various categories. It’s a moment where the passion, dedication, and meticulous care invested in these magnificent vehicles are recognized and applauded. Witnessing the awards ceremony is an experience in itself, so be sure not to miss it.
