AMELIA ISLAND CONCOURS - Ferraris, Bugattis, PanAmerica and Derek Bell

Nice pics, you have any of the jaguars that were there?

 

Great photos! Thanks for sharing.

 

Nice pictures Ron! I especially like the swoopy baby blue convertible.

love the pan american collection class
first time i have ever seen so many in one place

 

One of the most beautiful cars ever built, but I would still take the Bucciali over it.

 

Love these great oldschool racecars

Nice shots !

(What kind of cars in the #22th picture?)

 

That's about the best collection of show pics I've seen posted on Fchat..thanx, Ron.

I'll chime in too...the panam cars are indeed awesome.

 

A 275 GTB looks almost ordinary in the midst of this bunch.

Great shots!

 

Awesome shots again Ron. I gotta do a thread search but i'd to find out the auction results.

Awesome pictures Ron! Great picture of the 962...I watched those race in Miami when I was in 6th grade!

www.rmautions.com should have the auction results posted soon

 

Chevy Corvair experimental cars and prototypes.

 

Actually, there were a series of Delahayes with similar coachwork, with kind of a "nose" above the grille. This is one of the prettier ones.

 

Do you have any information about the Ferrari 195 or 212 ? Vignale coupe parked behind the Porsche numbered 154. in your photo ? I think it says USA FUTURA in white on the door ? I would really appreciate it if anyone has additional photos of this car.

 

Thanks a million for the pics. Made me sick that I couldn't make it this year.

The Delahaye looks awsome!

That is a great event!!

 

It was another great event....the road racing symposium was awesome (Redman, Surtees, Fitch, Moss, DeCadenet, Economaki, McGriff, Hobbs, Posey, etc.)....thanks to Bill Warner and all his staff and volunteers. They're all great. Just when I think I'm getting jaded I go to Amelia and see cars I've never seen or even heard of, and many more that I've always wanted to see.

Congratulations to my friend George Shelley for winning the Daytona Award with his jewel-like Cisitalia monoposto. Also to John and Kathy Schumann for their F1 Ferrari with Derek Bell history.

Any pics of a silver 62 Jag XKE?

 

I remember seeing it at Pebble as well. Actually the first time I've ever been exposed to Delahayes, some very gorgeous cars indeed.

Here's a shot of it from there:

I think I like the burgandy and cream Figoni-Falaschi bodied Delahaye even better!

Here is a link to a miniature of another Delahaye that is similar to the blue car..

and another similar car that was owned by Rita Heyworth..

Can anybody please shed light on the gorgeous red Ferrari No.26?

I would guess it is from the 250 series, but I'm simply clueless on this pretty one.
