The Brumos Collection Offers Classic Car Enthusiasts a Reason to Visit Jacksonville, Florida
In 1953, Hubert Brundage, an amateur racer, established Brundage Motors in Jacksonville, Florida, becoming an importer of VWs and Porsches—an operation that would eventually be known as Brumos.
Brumos’ last competition was at Road Atlanta in 2013, and the dealership was sold late in 2015 to the Field Automotive Group. Starks explains that the collection had been private and by invitation only, but after the sale it needed a new public-facing home. The collection is far more than just a collection of the Brumos racers. It’s a history lesson in track competition, mostly American but with some French entries from the early days, too. Here’s some of what’s on offer:This was one of the world’s first race cars, and took part in the 79-mile Paris to Rouen competition sponsored by Le Petit Journal at a time when horseless carriages were a novelty.
The 1923 Locomobile Model 48 Sportif, built in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was owned by a stockbroker who could afford it—the cost was US$9,900 in 1923. The 1939 Alfa-Romeo 8C 2900B was one of only 12 known Touring Spiders. It went down to Argentina and briefly raced there before being separated from its elegant original body in Brazil. Decades later, they were reunited by collector Sam Mann. The 1985 Porsche 959 on display is the final prototype of that iconic model, a technological tour de force.
