      The Sixth Annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, to be held March 9 - 11, 2001, at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.
     Regarded as the nation's most eclectic classic car show, the Concours d'Elegance features more
than 200 of the country's most exotic classic cars, many from private collections seldom seen in
public. The 2001 show will be held on Sunday, March 11. Other events during this three-day
weekend include an old-fashioned road rally, a golf tournament, an art show and a black-tie dinner.
There will also be a classic car auction held on Saturday, March 10, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Last
year's auction garnered almost $13 million in sales.

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance features many classic and vintage automobiles that are rarely seen in public. _______________________
