Various General Motors concept vehicles will be on display at the invitation-only Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance show this weekend (March 11th
–12th) on Amelia Island in Florida. The show, which normally showcases vintage vehicles like the 1951
Bentley Mark IV Sedanca coupe pictured here, has chosen the theme, “Alternate Fuels, Alternate Power” and
selected GM for its history in alternative fuel technologies.
Said Scot Keller, Staff Director, Corporate
Brand Communications, “Participating in the Amelia Island Concours with these alternative power cars demonstrates
why GM’s heritage is so important. These vehicles serve as inspiration for the men and women who continue to keep
GM a leader in the development of alternative fuel vehicles. Being able to share them with the enthusiasts attending
the Amelia Island Concours is another example of using our heritage to demonstrate not only where we have been, but
where we are going”.

Some of the vehicles to be displayed include a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix with a
regenerative steam engine; the Chevrolet Express; and the Sequel, a fuel cell concept vehicle with the range of 300
mile range and 0-60 mph time in under ten seconds.
