Seen in the Amelia Island Concours Parking Lot: Fatty Arbuckle’s 1923 McFarlan

Seen in the Amelia Island Concours Parking Lot: Fatty Arbuckle’s 1923 McFarlan

After the end of the very special Amelia Island Concours, I drove the Black Beast back to trailer parking lot to pack up for home. To my pleasant surprise, a spectacular 1923 McFarlan was parked nearby.

Enjoy,

Gorgeous car!  And the Nethercutt Museum is a delight—I’ve been there twice(when I visit my daughter in California) and never cease to marvel at their collection.
