Saint Louis 2004 Exposition proudly displayed their 1930 Cadillac Budweiser II Land Cruiser (a promotional vehicle built by the Vehicle Department of Anheuser-Busch) in the 2006 Amelia Concours d' Elegance car show.  The opportunity to participate in the invitation only event occurred when the show producer, Bill Warner, created a Promotional Vehicle class. This is believed to be the first class of its type ever included in a Concours show.

     The Annual Amelia Island Concours d' Elegance is held every year at the beautiful beachfront Ritz-Carlton Hotel at Amelia Island, Florida.  This years events were on the weekend of March 10-12.  The weekend begins with an auction held by RM Auctions Inc.  Friday all of the cars are on display around the hotel grounds.  The auction takes place on Saturday.  There were over 200 vintage cars on sale this year.  The final selling prices ranged from $7,150 for a 1932 Rockne Sedan, to $2.7 million for a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Alloy Berlinetta Comp.

     The actual car show is held on Sunday, and features a wide variety of beautiful vintage cars.  All of the cars are on display on the beach front golf course.  Many awards are given in a wide variety of categories.  The Budweiser II even won an award; The Camille Jenatzy Award for the Car with the Most Audacious Exterior.  Below are a few images of the Bud II at the car show as well as other images from the weekend long event.
