Steve Moskowitz Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 After the Duesenberg from the Lehrman Collection won best of show at Amelia Island, Ed was seen three feet off the ground. Deservedly so as he keeps the collection in tip top shape. So happy for Sam and Ed! The car had serious competition! Bill Parfet's Bentley was to die for , Michael Rich had a stunning one of a kind Mercedes that had to be seen, let alone a host of other cars including other Duesenbergs and Bugattis that all were magnificent. Congratulations Ed! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimy Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Bravo, Ed and Sam! I was able to admire that wonderful car at Pebble where it was a gnat's eyelash from BOS. So glad it made BOS at Amelia! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepher Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Congrats on the Best of Show award, Ed! But the car didn't have an Archer on the hood so it is still second rate. 😛 Edited March 10, 2020 by zepher (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Congrats to Ed Nd Sam, fabulous win! As to the Hemmings article, I guess grammar and proofreading are disappearing as are our craftsmen. I didn’t know it was a “limosine”...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevep516 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Congratulations to Ed and Sam! I had the pleasure to see the car up front and close . Ed was very gracious in showing it to me. Truly an unbelievable piece of art! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Well, hey ! I'll pile on here too, then. The last sentence of the next-to-last paragraph in the Hemmings article implies that there are two distinct '29 Murph' D'bergs in the collection. O.K. Having picked a nit of my own : Congrats, to the ever gracious, energetic, and generous forum brother Ed. I wonder how hard it was for you, Ed, to resist temptation to light-up that DOHC straight 8 and just motor on up the coast ? 😎, right ? - CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, oddly we were in an antique shop here in CT over the weekend, and I came across a double sided sign that said "limosine parking only" so not sure how accepted this may have been once upon a time..

That’s interesting....I would still say that it’s a mistake in this case, though, because later in the article he states “limousine”....hope you got the sign!

46 woodie Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm surprised that they even allow the cars to be sprayed with champaign. Most of the caliber of cars that are displayed at Amelia Island don't even see a drop of rain. I have been in sports celebrations and been covered in champaign. It's sticky stuff and no fun when it dries. Yuck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Moët Special Reserve in a custom labeled 25th Amelia Island Concours jerobomb bottle............tasted fine, and the clean up of the car was easy. Only drink top shelf when driving a Best in Show winner. 😎 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chistech Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Kobe cattle are considered so special, they are bathed with sake. Bring on the champagne for its sponge bath, it deserves it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
