The 2022 Concours d’Lemon Amelia Island took place on the 1st Fairway of the Amelia Island Golf Club, as part of Hagerty‘s Cars and Community, a saturday morning prequel to the famed The Amelia concours the following day. The Concours d’Lemons was situated next to the spectator shuttle bus stop, ensuring the thousands who entered the show started the day off with a smile and possibly a case of tetanus. Participants came from as far away as Austin, TX and Baltimore, MD to join the assemblage of local Floridian automotive atrocities. Worst of Show honors went to Nathan Renstrom and his 1986 Ford NautiTruck. The frankenstein-esque creation is the unholy marriage of an abandoned Ski Nautique boat and a $400 Ford F150, because, Florida.
