Malcolm Pray always considered the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance to be a highlight of his year. He enjoyed all that the unique setting had to offer: the ability to attend both an auction and a concours, all within walking distance of his room at the Ritz-Carlton, and the joyful reunion with friends on the seaside green.

Banksville, New York, is the home of the Pray Achievement Center, an organization Mr. Pray founded to mentor and motivate young people to achieve their life goals. Since opening the Achievement Center in 2001, over 8,000 young men and women have been inspired by his enthusiastic approach to realizing one’s dreams.

With his passing in August 2013, at the age of 84, Malcolm’s legacy as a philanthropist continues. The proceeds from the offering of the following 16 automobiles will benefit the Pray Achievement Center. Each of the examples being offered plays into the story of Malcolm’s life, be it the Delahaye that captured his imagination as a young boy, any of the future CCCA Full Classics that he saw driving on the roads as a young man, the BMW 507 that he spotted in Greenwich during the early years of his career as a car dealer, or the Rolls-Royce Phantom V that carried his children to their nuptials.
