The East Coast’s Pebble Beach
The Amelia Island weekend, home to one of the nation’s premier concours d’Elegance, begins in earnest on Thursday, March 10th, 2016. The days to follow promise three separate auctions of fine automobiles and a chance to see and show the most distinguished four (and sometimes three!) wheeled vehicles. Premier’s CEO Mitch Katz will be in attendance, along with Vice President of Sales Doug Ewing, Northeast Sales Manager Keith Neelans and Southeast Sales Manager Chris Warren, not only to show that even concours-ready one-offs are eligible for a Simple Lease, but also to revel in a shared passion for cars. If you find yourself among the lucky few bidding at the auctions at Amelia Island, be sure to consult your auction basics and call Premier today to get pre-approved to lease from auction.
