Amelia Island 2013

Autopartstomorrow.com is based in Georgia, which also hosts arguably the most over the top refined car show on the planet. If the Kentucky Derby is the pinnacle of horse racing, Amelia Island is where you want to show off your antique 4 million dollar Rolls Royce to the world's elite automotive aficionado's. Some people may argue for Pebble Beach... I think it is this one.

This year they are celebrating what I consider to be the top American car, perhaps ever. Everyone has their own personal opinion, but in terms of overall ratings for design, beauty, speed, importance and permanence, it is hard to dispute the Ford GT40's place in history. Race cars are not typically in people's "best of" list, but if asked, most would gladly move this car to the top if they were given the keys and offered the opportunity to actually drive one.

Thanks to Jeffry Ross and Autoblog for their great article on the car and the event here.
