2024 Amelia Island Concours

For this year's 2024 Amelia, the American Muscle Car Museum brought our 1956 Mercury XM Turnpike Cruiser. This is the only prototype created and built in Italy by Ghia in 1955. The exterior is in a Persimmon with a pearlescent topcoat and has transparent butterfly roof panels that open and close when the doors are used.

 

We are happy to announce that we won the Amelia Island Award! We were in a competitive American Limited Production class and are very grateful for the honor. The other Best in Class Winner in our American Limited Production class was a 1954 Packard Balboa, but the other cars were also incredibly deserving. Here is a look at our car, along with Mark and Tetiana Pieloch accepting the award on behalf of the museum.
