The Amelia 2025 set a new standard with record-breaking auctions and an expanded showcase of rare and iconic cars. From the Porsche Club of America’s 70th anniversary to BMW’s 3 Series tribute, plus almost $130 million in combined automobile auction sales, this year’s event was bigger than ever. Woodside Credit returned for the third year as a proud sponsor, continuing our commitment to the collector car community—with Bruno, the 1933 Packard, a cherished part of our Woodside family. Here’s what also made it unforgettable:
Porsche Werks Reunion Amelia Island: 70 Years of PCA!
This year’s Porsche Werks Reunion Amelia Island showcased an incredible range of Porsches, from meticulously restored air-cooled classics to the latest high-performance models. The reunion served as the perfect stage for enthusiasts to admire rare specifications, factory one-offs, and storied race cars while enjoying expert panels and camaraderie with fellow Porsche devotees. This year was even more special as it marked Porsche Club of America’s 70th anniversary, celebrating seven decades of passion, community, and dedication to the Porsche brand. The Woodside Credit team was delighted to be onsite this year to help Porsche enthusiasts envision their low payment on their next Porsche purchase.
BMW 3 Series 50th Anniversary
The Amelia 2025 also marked a special milestone for BMW, celebrating 50 years of the iconic 3 Series. As one of the most beloved sports sedans in automotive history, the BMW 3 Series has evolved through generations while staying true to its driver-focused DNA. A curated display highlighted key models spanning decades, from the legendary E30 M3 to modern M performance variants, showcasing why the 3 Series remains an iconic BMW model line.
Broad Arrow Auction – $63.2 Million in Sales
The third annual Broad Arrow auction at The Amelia was nothing short of spectacular, with 146 collector cars crossing the block and achieving a total of $63.2 million in sales. The two-day sale featured an eclectic mix of prewar classics, European exotics, modern performance icons, and ultra-rare hypercars.
A standout moment of the auction was the sale of a 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV, stunning in Arancio Miura, which commanded over $4 million. The bidding war intensified as auctioneer Lydia Fenet masterfully orchestrated the energy in the room, her expertise and charisma driving the excitement to a fever pitch. Watching her command the floor with precision as the hammer dropped on one of the most desirable collector cars of all time was a sight to see.
Gooding Christie’s Auction – $65.1 Million in Sales
Gooding Christie’s, formerly known as “Gooding & Company” delivered another round of exceptional results, totaling $65.1 million in sales this year in Amelia Island. With 130 vehicles on offer, collectors had the chance to acquire some of the finest automobiles from across the decades. Standout vehicles include a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe sold for $103,600, a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS sold for $1.6 million, and a 1989 RUF CTR “Yellowbird” sold for a whopping $6.05 million, a world record for the RUF marque.
Concours d’Lemons: The Quirky Side of The Amelia
The Concours d’Lemons returned to celebrate the weird, wacky, and wonderful side of automotive history. A contrast to the high-brow concours events, this gathering of oddball, unloved, and often hilariously awful cars provided plenty of laughs and an appreciation for the automotive misfits of the world.
