  • BEACH CARS STORM the 2014 AMELIA CONCOURS D'elegance
    Event Information Tickets Visitors Guide Charity Sponsors News & Media Gallery BEACH CARS STORM THE 2014 AMELIA CONCOURS d'ELEGANCE "For an event like 'The Amelia' a class of beach cars is appropriate and ideal," said Warner. "After all, when you take a break from the concours field and sit on the veranda at the Ritz-Carlton with a cool drink in front of you, you stare at the ocean and the beach. I just wish we could find a way to make the beach part of the concours field just this once." During the La Dolce Vita epoch, the ultimate European playboy's car was neither a Maserati nor a Ferrari. It arrived on sun splashed Mediterranean beaches long before Lamborghini cars existed. The playboy's choice for his prowls along the Med during those golden days was the "Jolly" beach car, usually based on Fiat's tiny 600. Photo courtesy of Hyman Ltd. Modified by Ghia, the mild mannered little Fiat 600 was the perfect platform for the Jolly's wicker seats and the fringed canvas top. As open as a speedboat, the Jollys were little land locked yacht tenders of the rich and, usually, famous. Fiat chairman Gianni Angelli drove one. Even the esteemed styling house of Pinin Farina created the Eden Rock beach car from the humble platform of Fiat's almost comical, forward-control Multipla people mover. "There was an entire industry built around creating custom bodies for the Fiat 600," said Bill Warner, Founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, "The Jollys are the whimsical ones we remember.

People of the Beetle Generation sit up and take notice when they hear it today. They are strangely touched, experience melancholy, as though remembering something long since lost. It is a sound as unmistakable as the Beetle's silhouette: it buzzes, it putters - all against a background of soothing fan noises – a feeling of euphoria which has underscored our mobility for decades and which was the accompaniment for our independence and for growing prosperity during those years. Beginning in the late 1940's and continuing into the early 1980's, the unmistakable noise of the Beetle left its mark on the sound backdrop of German streets. And in other places, as well, the air-cooled Beetle Boxer was the lead instrument in the noisy traffic concert. This is why Volkswagen advertising from the Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB) agency at the end of the 1960's, advertising that is already legendary today, was titled „What the world loves about Germany"; it included a colorfully mixed collection of pictures: Heidelberg, a cuckoo clock, sauerkraut with dumplings, Goethe, a dachshund, the Lorelei – and a Beetle.
