100-Plus Rare Cars At Airport Exhibit

From Long Island, NY To Amelia Island, FL
Bringing this event to Amelia Island, FL here in the South are Shamin Abas and Jeffrey Einhorn. They are co-founders of a car event, “The Bridge,” that happens up north in The Hamptons on another east coast island. The exclusive Hamptons event reportedly attracts top collectors from across the nation.
“The Bridge” event on Long Island, NY is invitation only, held on the former grounds of a storied racing venue, the Bridgehampton Race Circuit. The race track where racing legends like Richard Petty competed more than 50 years ago was redeveloped into a golf course with some of the landmarks of the racetrack preserved.
Featuring live music, “The Hangar” attendees can also enjoy “premium wines and delicious bites,” along with the opportunity to browse this special display of planes and cars.

Since the first Concours d’Elegance was held on this northeast Florida barrier island back in 1996, Amelia Island’s event has bloomed into a 4-day car culture extravaganza. New events have been introduced over the decades, piggybacking on the success and growth of “The Amelia”Concours d’Elegance, the original event that put Amelia Island on the map as a gathering place for car enthusiasts and a marketplace for investment-class, collector vehicles.
