With an incredible line-up of automobiles and aircraft promised, guests will have plenty to view as they sip their cocktails and stroll the tarmac.

The sunset aperitivo will take place on the eve of the 29th Annual The Amelia, the famed Concours d’ Elegance on March 2 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the spectacular Bent Wing Flight Services, Fernandina Beach.

Eventgoers can anticipatea show stopping displays of horsepower with cars set to be featured, including a 1966 Ferrari 206 S Dino, 1955 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing, 1966 Porsche 906 and a 1987 Porsche 962,as well as a large stable of super and hypercars.

Highlights from this year’s curated exhibition also include historic aircraft such as a 1938 Lockheed 12A,300S and an Albatross N51ZD.

New partners joining this year include VistaJet, who will display two aircraft from their impressive business jet fleet, a Challenger 350 and a Gulfstream G450. Roger Dubuis will bring a collection of rare contemporary haute horlogerie for guests to view, including their just-released Excalibur Spider Pirelli, fueled by adrenaline and crafted with winning motorsport tire rubber.

For a fun twist, guests are invited to compete at their “pit stop” and race against the clock to swap out the timepiece colorway—meanwhile, automotive partners joining include Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and McLaren, who will display the 750S and their next-generation hybrid supercar-the Artura.

This year, The Hangar is pleased to incorporate an exciting new alignment with Hagerty and The Amelia, enhancing the weekend's offerings to those traveling to Amelia Island for the annual festivities.
