Another Amelia Island auction and concours weekend has come and gone. Great weather with cars aplenty and excellent quality all around. Scott and I were on hand for the auctions while the big show on Sunday yielded good times with old friends and a wonderfully eclectic group of cars on the show field. The weekend ended with a bang when a car we were showing, a 1930 Packard 745 Dual Cowl Phaeton owned by a good friend and client of ours, was awarded the prestigious FIVA preservation trophy for best original car. If you were on hand for the festivities, I hope you enjoyed yourself and got just the right amount of fun in the Florida sun.
Below is our usual auction highlight picks with the sales results from cars that went over the block, ones that we were closely following going into the auctions. Also, at the bottom, we note the 300SL sales which occurred, which were particularly strong showing continued high demand for the W198 production cars.
