the Amelia Island Concours will be featuring 11 race winning cars, and the trophies in a special class called “The Great Trophies and Cars” at the 2016 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in Florida in March.
Towering over them all will be the seven-foot-tall Wheeler-Schebler Trophy, first awarded at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1909, the year the Speedway opened. Its last presentation was in 1932 to winning-car owner Harry Hartz, who donated the imposing cup to the Indianapolis Speedway Museum.
The Indy 500’s famed Borg-Warner Trophy, the early-era Vanderbilt Cup, two separate year trophies from the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Harley J. Earl Daytona 500 Perpetual Trophy and the French Grand Prix trophy of 1914 will be among those tracing the history of world auto racing.
The 2016 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance events will be held March 11-13 on the Golf Club of Amelia Island at The Ritz-Carlton.
