The sixth annual Boca Raton Concours d’ Elegance is celebrating 50 years of the Shelby Cobra and upcoming 100th anniversary of Aston Martin with a tremendous commemoration on February 24–26, 2012, at the Boca Raton Resort and Club in Boca Raton, Florida.

As a special tribute to the man behind the brand, Carroll Shelby will be presented with an Automotive Lifetime Achievement Award. Following the ceremony, guests will have the rare opportunity to bid of some exclusive Shelby products. The event will be auctioning off three limited-edition commemorative Shelby Cobras.

The first authentic recreation is a 50th-anniversary 1962 Shelby Cobra 289 CSX8992, and the other two authentic recreations are a pair of 1965 Shelby Cobra 427s: CSX6063 and CSX6100. It will also be auctioning two limited-edition commemorative 2012 models: an 800-hp 2012 Shelby GT500 Super Snake and a 2012 Shelby GT350. Shelby built each of these cars specifically for the Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance.

This year's concours kicks off on Friday night with the duPont Registry Live! Hangar Party. On Saturday night, duPont will also host a black-tie-optional gala dinner and show with Comedian / Actor Dana Carvey. Sunday, the main event takes place, as an expert panel evaluates some of the finest automobiles and motorcycles ever built.

This three-day series of events benefits Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County.
