For those of you who haven't yet had the chance, the Amelia Island Concours D'Elegance has become one of the premier classic car shows in America, certainly on par with Pebble Beach. This year's show was the 15th anniversary. That, plus the beautiful March weather drew record crowds, with some 18,000 in attendance.

We had the pleasure of displaying our 1939 Cadillac, model 75 series convertible coupe. It's one of less than 30 built, and 5 or so remaining. It's a great art deco car, albeit just a bit slower than the GT :) After a few months of mechanical tweaking and elbow grease, the old gal cleaned up pretty nicely.

Mitchell -

The car looks gorgeous! Wish I had seen it up close. I'm so sorry we missed you. I was at the event and scoured the place but with the crowds and bumping into so many friends and fellow enthusiasts, it was easy to get distracted. This is always a great kick off to the car year! I loved some of the classes. "Ecterini" indeed!

I can only imagine what it feels like to cruise around in it. Very, very, nice. The thing I like most about this site is that everyone is a gear head and have very interesting rides.

I think maybe it is time for a different avatar.

Awesome, Mitch! I was talking to the marketing manager of Bugatti N.A., who was there as well. Would love to check it out next year...
