Florida's Amelia Island is home to the annual Amelia Concours, held this year on Saturday, March 7. The beachside locale is a lovely backdrop for a car show featuring everything from eye-popping modern-day supercars to pristine prewar classics. We walked the whole thing, enjoying the smell of ocean air mixed with gasoline, to find our favorites. Here are the 10 vehicles we loved the most:1934 LaSalle 350This pristine orange 1934 LaSalle 350 is owned by John Galiardi of Farmington, Connecticut. The 350 was a short-lived model of the former GM subsidiary, and this is one of just about 7000 that were built in 1934. Fun fact: A LaSalle 350 served as the pace car for the 1934 Indianapolis 500.1957 Ford ThunderbirdAside from the perfectly 1950s pink paint, this Thunderbird caught our eye because it's a refreshed-for-1957 version, which got a sleeker front bumper and a larger grille. The Thunderbird's standard engine in 1957 was a 5.1-liter V-8 with 245 horsepower. This one is owned by Ed and Carole Blumenthal of Voorhees, New Jersey.1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet Police Car1965 was the final year for the Porsche 356, which makes this one notable on its own. But this one, owned by Maurice Kaspy of Montreal, Quebec, is one that was used by the Dutch police force. If you look closely, you can even see the blue dome-shaped beacon on the left front side. 1985 Renault R5 Turbo IIThis mid-engined marvel is a Renault R5 Turbo II, a homologation car to support the French company's motorsports and rally efforts. This late-model example is owned by Malcolm Davidow of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. It's legendary.1994 Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione IISpeaking of rally legends, parked just opposite the Renault 5 Turbo was this Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione. We really like the navy-blue-over-beige color combo of this car. The Lancia Delta was dominant during its run in the World Rally Championship, and it's considered one of the most successful rally cars ever.1954 Kurtis 500SThis little sports car is a Kurtis 500S, built by race-car builder Frank Kurtis, and is one of only about 30 ever built. There's a big Cadillac V-8 engine under the hood, and given this car's diminutive size, we bet it really flies. This one is owned by Dana and Patti Mecum (yes, that Mecum), of Geneva Lake, Wisconsin.2008 Harmon SplinterJoe Harmon of Davidson, North Carolina, brought his one-of-one Harmon Splinter. And yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, this car is made from wood. The car was his master's thesis project at North Carolina State University. It's striking up close, and we weren't alone in our admiration. Getting a photo of this one was difficult, as a crowd constantly surrounded it.2024 SCAD AetherSpeaking of students, this is the Aether, a 3-D-printed sports car concept dreamed up by the students in Savannah College of Art and Design's industrial design program. Everything has been printed from acrylic gel photo-cured with UV lights. 2024 Bugatti MistralBased on the Chiron, the Bugatti Mistral is even more exclusive than its donor car. This open-top hypercar is powered by a 1578-hp quad-turbo W-16 engine. A Mistral set a 282-mph speed record in 2024. Seeing one in the wild is crazy, even if it was sitting still.Dario Franchitti Race Car CollectionThe Amelia Concours honored racing driver Dario Franchitti this year, displaying a collection of the three-time Indy 500 winner's racing cars. Although he has retired from racing, he is still focused on cars and is now working for Gordon Murray Automotive. Our senior features editor, Elana Scherr, had the good fortune to ride shotgun with Franchitti in the T.50 supercar in 2024.Honorable Mention: GEM eLXD Electric Medic CarRemember these? It's the GEM eLXD. This weird little electric truck/cart isn't suitable for freeways, but it makes an ideal utility vehicle for resorts and theme parks. The city of Fernandina Beach, the oceanfront locale of the Amelia Concours, has one done up as a medic's cart, which allows them to patrol without polluting the fresh ocean air. It's not a common sight, but it's probably a lot less rare than most of the cars we saw today.
