The 2013 edition of the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance was staged Sunday, March 10th at the Golf Club of Amelia Island in Florida. The 18th annual event celebrated the race cars of Harry Miller, the motorcycles of Ducati and the 50th anniversaries of the Ford GT40, Porsche 911, Corvette Sting Ray and Lamborghini.
Race car driver, journalist and author Sam Posey was the Honored Chairman of the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Event Founder and Chairman Bill Warner selected a great fleet of his race cars from Posey’s diverse and eclectic career to be on the show field.

Of all these fine pics I really missed seeing a photo of the Lambo 3500GT with its unique quad headlights…BooHoo!
Chuck
the 3500GT is the Zagato bodied Lambo and is in there
Early morning light plus Dirk’s great eye. What a gallery of images.
Dirk,
Sorry, I got carried away with zeros – I meant the gray 350GT (Touring) with quad lamps that I did not find, not the 3500GTZ. Great pics btw – I’m sure you have hundreds from the weekend!
Check out the wheels on picture #5, 1929 DuPont G. Special effects or????
John
I had to go very wide to take that shot
So still a bit of lens distorion left after processing
Couldn’t go further back since i was already stuck against some old car 😉
Dirk – these are very dramatic shots, you have great control of the lighting and of course good subject matter to work with ! Thanks !
Wow what a great bunch of pictures. Made me feel like I was almost there. Will be next year!
Thank you Dirk, from a California car guy who is Handicaped, so I can’t attend. This is one show I miss greatly every year. Thank you again bringing it to my large screen APPPLE
Professional and beautiful photos, Dirk. See you at Goodwood. Ned and Kate
Beautiful cars, the best of the BEST. What type of car cover are they using there. It appears to be a see thru material !?
Dirk
Absolutely terrific images!!! I’m also handicapped and can no longer attend and these images and this video https://vimeo.com/63531878 brought it all to my screen!! Thanks
