MIKE KLEEVES WINS AMELIA CONCOURS INAUGURAL PHIL HILL TROPHY AND CRAFTSMAN TOOLS RESTORERS AWARD

 

     

     Mike Kleeves of Automotive Metal Shaping, Kimball, MI won the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance's inaugural Phil Hill Trophy and Craftsman Tools Restorers Award for his restoration of the Aston Martin DB4GTZ of the Helena Collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

 

     The unique award was created to honor the artisan whose restoration of a classic, antique, historic or competition car is judged the best new restoration in its first concours appearance.

 

     Alma and Derek Hill (Phil's widow and son) presented the Phil Hill Trophy and Craftsman Tools Restorers Award, a new, one-of-a-kind, custom Phil Hill Commemorative Craftsman Professional Tool Chest bearing Phil Hill's image and signature.

 

     The award is named for and dedicated to the memory of the late Phil Hill, America's first Formula 1 World Champion, the USA's first Le Mans 24 Hour winner and the Honoree of the 1997 Amelia Island Concours' d'Elegance.

 

 

     Sixty years ago Phil Hill changed the concours universe winning the 1955 Pebble Beach Concours with his 1931 Pierce Arrow Le Baron Town Car Cabriolet. Until then, concours best of show winners were new cars in the tradition of the 1920's and 1930's Parisian concours.

 

     "The Phil Hill Trophy and Craftsman Tools Award honors the person who did the hard, exacting work and the meticulous research," said Bill Warner, founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. "Typically, trophies go to car owners. We want to recognize and reward the restoration specialists whose work and passion represent the spirit and contributions of Phil Hill and the excellence of his life's work."
