1928 Chevrolet Beach Racer – Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 2011

This Beach racer was built in Jacksonville, Florida by Bert Moyer. He utilized a 1928 Chevrolet engine, rear axle, front axle and brakes. The rest of the running gear is a 1926 Chevrolet. The body was so rusty it was duplicated in Jacksonville, FL by Jimmy Britts and painted by Steve Pisano.

The car raced in northern Florida and southern Georgia in the 1930’s. Bert raced in Atlanta against Ralph DePalma (1915 Indy 500 Winner) among other drivers.

The car was found in Mrs. Sally Moyer’s garage in Jacksonville in 2006. She is the daughter-in-law of Bert Moyer. The car was restored in Jacksonville by Randy Kimberly and was unveiled at the 2007 Amelia Island Concours.

1930 Lincoln Sport Roadster – Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 2011

This sporty roadster was created by Locke & Company for Lincoln to debut in the 1930 Auto Shows in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The catalog of custom bodies listed its special features including the disappearing top. Which is completely hidden under the rear cowl when put down and a arm-rest in the center of the front seat – very unusual for the time.

The car seen was ordered at the Chicago show and delivered to a prominent Doctor. Only 15 of this model were produced, this being #13-4 type 5000, model 191. Number 13 was the body tag designation for Locke and #4 was its production number of the 15 made. This is the oldest survivor of the three remaining Locke Sport Roadsters.

For this year’s Concours I am taking a different approach, making composite fine art pieces with some the finest images from the shoot. I have chosen and am working with three main backgrounds shots from the region to complement both the timelessness of the moment and beauty of the machine. My inspiration is to hang something out there that is unique, beautiful and unlike any of the other great shots of these amazing rides taken through the years.
