Bill Warner is a consummate auto enthusiast-an accomplished racing photographer, writer, and all-around good guy. Back in the '90s, Warner had a vision of producing an East Coast concours d'elegance event that would match the legendary Pebble Beach show held in California. Thirteen years ago, his dream became a reality in the form of the Amelia Island Concours. Since then, the show has been held every year at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Amelia Island, Florida. Today, the show is considered one of the top concours events in the country.

Warner's passion and dedication to racing flavor each show. Each year, he recognizes important milestones that have changed the sport, placing special emphasis on the personalities and cars that represent that milestone. The most recent show featured an impressive array of Corvette race cars, and it is these vehicles that form the basis of our story.
