Rock legend John Oates gives us his take on the 2019 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance collectible car show:
, [accompanied by] a special Martin acoustic guitar [the King] had played, which was donated by the guitar maker. Ricky Nelson's Cadillac Eldorado owned by Bill Warner, and one of his guitars. And AC/DC’s Brian Johnson's rare 1928 Bentley." Because he's a lead singer and didn't necessarily play guitar, the display included a 1964 Gibson SG, which is very similar to the one his bandmate Angus Young plays.
The other two were a tiny red 1954 Stanguellini 750 Sport in the Race Cars 1946-1957 class and a 1967 Alfa Romeo T33"Periscopio" raced at Targa Florio in the Race Cars 1946-1947 class.Best in Show: A 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K won in the Concours d’Elegance category, while a 1957 Ferrari 335 S captured took home top honors in the Concours de Sport category.
However, the best part of the day for Oates was walking around talking to people who knew their stuff about cars. “It was great to engage in conversations with them and talk about all the details," he says."For a car nerd, it was Nirvana.” Rod Emory, the owner of Emory Motorsports, has been generating “Outlaw” Porsche 356s for more than 20 years. In Oates case, he took a derelict 1960 356 “barn find” and turned it into a stunning 1960 356 Emory Special.
