The Amelia Island Concours celebrates many aspects of the car culture, including period dress and fashion matching the vintage of the cars displayed. This family dressed in appropriate golf attire along with their 4.0 Liter, DOHC, overdrive, 1939 Bentley.
An earlier car and an earlier fashion period - 1914 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. This car had been converted into a farm truck in the 1940's. It was found by a collector in 1999 and restored to its original 1914 configuration.
1919 Pierce Arrow 66-A-4. This flashy car has a custom body designed by Harley Earl and was originally owned by silent-movie star Fatty Arbuckle. It has an 825 cubic inch overhead cam engine.
1925 Kissel 6-55 Goldbug Speedster. This car was designed to be a sporting runabout, with rear fender mounts for your golf clubs on both sides.
1951 General Motors LeSerbe prototype, a type of car that General Motors often billed as Dream Cars.
1952 Muntz Jet - A car built by "Mad Man" Muntz as a promotion of his car business rather than a business enterprise as he lost money on every car built. The car was designed by the Indy racecar builder Kurtis.
There are not any descriptions of the fashions, only images for your own analysis. This is a car blog, so the focus, appropriately, is on the cars. But, the fashion aspect is an interesting part of the Amelia Island Concours.
