The Saturday dawned rather cool and overcast. By the time we made our way to Amelia, some 5 hours north of our present location, it was windy, very windy and quite cool. Temperatures hovered in the low to mid 50's. We decided to scope out the terrain and then search out our hotel for the night.
Sunday started cool and breezy under clear skies. We made our way to Ferdinando Airport and jumped the trolley to the golf course. Ten dollars to park plus a trolley ride to and from our car was to be the only bargin of the day. Fifty dollars each for addmission seemed a bit much for a "car show", but by the end of the day, we all agreed it was well worth every penny.
The winner of the 1908 New York to Paris Race, restored to the condition that it finished the race was one of the historic highlights. Of special note was a one off Roll-Royce, built in, I believe, 1937. The sculptured lines of this classic would rival any of todays attempts at "Retro" autos.
