Event Coverage Amelia pics from today

Always a *****in show. The crowd was unreal this year, especially on auction day Sat, which saw some unreal pricing as well. But without further ado, enjoy these few of interest to "us types", maybe...?
Miller Mercedes. Check out the supercharger...



The rest I'm just gonna post up. A cpl blown Bugatti shots, some early Indy racer headers, an Indy car with whitewalls (!), and more. Enjoy, we did.

 

Not so sure about the whitewalls, just doesn't look right.

 

More, doing from my phone so excuse any missteps pls...









I'll add more when I get back tomorrow. Phone's taking a lot of time.

 

Thanks for sharing, looking forward to tomorrow

 

Oh, its right alright...GREAT stuff highlander, thanks for posting. Sometimes I envy you NE guys!

 

Cool - Thanks

 

Your going to make us wait for more, huh.
Phone pics look great, on my phone.
Bring on tomorrow, and have a safe trip home, if your traveling.

 

Thanks for Sharing.

 

Thanx for sharing! I decided not to go this year - between the marginal WX forecasts and the new price of $125 - it would been a long drive from Tampa for naught ifn it had rained. At $125 per, Amelia has finally priced my blue collar self out of their market. I wonder how long before they ask Pebble Beach prices? Too bad we have to pay so much to see those incredible cars... even major museums rarely charge more than a 20 to get in. Post rant... please keep the photos coming, I appreciate them more than ever this year. Gary

 

Looking forward to more.Thanx.

 

As I remember the whitewalls were so they could tell the diff between team cars.

 

Thanks for posting the photos. Wonder who won the 1932 Edsel Ford Speedster, HAMB member was part of the restoration. Bob

 

Nice . . . thanks for your time

 

Thanks for the photos. More please?

 

I guess #19 drew the short straw..................those WWW's look ridiculous on that car.

 

Check the helmet, that was Jim Clark. In 1966, he was "the man".

 

Got to go there one year. Only a 6 hour drive for me and the eye candy is just amazing. Thanks for pics

 

Yep, those WWW are pretty corny on the Lotus but they must have p***ed tech, eh? But nothing was as corny as the clown-suit STP overalls Granatelli did one year. Gary

 

^^^Damn straight! Granatelli was always good at attracting attention, thats for sure!

 

Thanks for posting - looking forward to the remainder

 

Thanks for sharing, looking forward for more.

 

Ed Pink's car is so cool. Can't wait to see it in person.

 

Now that I have a little break in returning home...

More of the Ed Pink 36:




This was out front on display. Very well done, almost to "our" liking:

 

But wait, there's more...


The "Phantom Corsair":

When "stock car" meant:






"Janis Joplin" Porsche. Damn hippies...



Supercharged Cord sedan. I really liked this one:


All in all, quite a show. There's something here for everyone, as in most well done concours events. Where else can you see ultra rare and near priceless vintage artifacts seasoned with all out race cars and something like the Ed Pink 36? Everyone should attend one somewhere. Enjoy...

 

Thanx SO much again for your pix. Gary

 

Joplin's Porsche rocks!

 

Great pics. Your not kidding about something for everyone. Sensory overload!

 

Curious what the race cars were bringing home. Had a model of this one as a kid and is that the K&K insurance car next to Petty's?

I know, I know, who let the redneck in? Can't help it, I love everything cars.

 

I think it brought over 1.6 mil at auction.

 

Not another one like it with that kind of provenance...I'd drive the **** out of it!
