Rev Your Engines: The Amelia Island Annual Car Show Is Calling Your Name!
When it comes to jaw-dropping automotive history and adrenaline-pumping excitement, few events can match the Amelia Island Annual Car Show—the ultimate bucket-list event for car enthusiasts. Each year, this prestigious showcase transforms Amelia Island into the epicenter of elegance, horsepower, and nostalgia. And guess what? Miller Rentals on Amelia still has a few incredible vacation rentals available—but they’re zooming off the market fast!
A Legacy of Elegance and Speed
The Amelia Island Annual Car Show, officially known as the Amelia Concours d’Elegance, traces its roots back to 1996, when visionary founder Bill Warner turned his dream into reality. Warner, a renowned automotive photographer and enthusiast, wanted to create an event that celebrated the art and engineering of classic automobiles while giving back to the community. What started as a modest gathering of car aficionados has since grown into an internationally acclaimed spectacle.
Held each March, the Amelia Concours d’Elegance is now one of the world’s most prestigious automotive events, attracting over 20,000 visitors annually. Each year, the show’s stunning exhibits feature more than 300 rare and luxurious automobiles, spanning vintage classics, race cars, and concept vehicles. Attendees can marvel at impeccably restored Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, and even prototype models that changed the trajectory of automotive design.
But the Concours isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a force for good. Since its inception, the event has raised over $4 million for local charities, including Spina Bifida of Jacksonville and other community initiatives. This fusion of glamour and philanthropy makes it a one-of-a-kind experience—a feast for the eyes and the soul.
