Best of Show winners were a sliver 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K and a 1960 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage. The silver Mercedes took the Concours d’Elegance trophy, and the Maserati drove home with the Concours de Sport award.
Sir Stirling Moss was going to be a featured guest at the show along with the Maserati. Unfortunately, he was injured at home, in his garage, and suffered two broken ankles, four broken bones to his foot, skin abrasions and four chipped vertebrae. He is now comfortable and recovering in a London hospital after surgery to both ankles, according to a recent post on Stirling Moss’ Web site.
Calendar notes: The 2011 show is scheduled for March 11-13, at The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach. Visit AmeliaConcours.org for information.
