Experience a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the car lover and history enthusiast with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes visit to the private JBS Collection in Elkhart, Indiana, owned by Jack Boyd Smith, Jr. Ranked among the world's premier classic car collections, the JBS Collection is home to extraordinarily rare automobiles whose stories are as remarkable as the cars themselves-including Amelia Earhart's iconic 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton Convertible and a 1936 Packard Twelve once owned by Charlie Chaplin.
Each automobile represents a piece of American history, meticulously preserved and restored to its former glory. The experience continues with a private tour of LaVine Restorations in nearby Nappanee, the renowned restoration shop and trusted partner behind the meticulous restoration of many JBS Collection automobiles-including Earhart's legendary Cord.
Your experience includes 100,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles, a stay at the charming Hotel Elkhart, Tapestry Collection by Hilton with a $500 Hilton Gift Card, and this extraordinary private automotive experience. A rare opportunity to step inside a world most car enthusiasts only dream of seeing- surrounded by legendary automobiles, fascinating stories and the craftsmen who have dedicated their lives to preserving them for generations to come. AAdvantage miles certificate cannot be split and expires 18 months from issue date. Blackout dates may apply for hotel. Mutually agreed upon dates with JBS Collection and LaVine Restorations.
