The SHELBY AMERICAN
Because of the threat of, “
thunder,
lightning
” – Eddie Floyd 1966, the
powers that be at the Amelia Island
Concours made a judgment call by
moving the awards ceremony up a cou-
ple of hours. Smart move, because I
left the concours around 1 p.m. and on
the way to Jacksonville Airport the
threat of rain was appearing on the
near horizon. Will I start checking the
weather channel in February of 2017
to get an idea of what the weather will
be like in the middle of March 2017 in
northern Florida? You bet, and any-
thing less than a hurricane, I’m there!
