Considered by some to be the world’s premier event dedicated to honoring Ferraris, as expected, this year’s Cavallino Classic was outstanding. For the 24th year in a row, this all-prancing horse concours continues to amaze with many of the rarest and most beautiful Ferraris ever built, many of which are only shown at the Cavallino Classic.
This extraordinary event is presented by Cavallino magazine, the bi-monthly Journal of Ferrari History. Called “A convention of automotive enthusiasts,” this four-day event begins on Thursday with track sessions at nearby Palm Beach International Raceway. Both vintage and new Ferraris compete throughout that day and Friday.
Saturday is show time, where the spectacular Ferrari-only concours takes place on the front lawn of the Breakers hotel, right on the waterfront in Palm Beach. It’s a setting that is truly amazing; the kind of location that makes you feel special just being there. And if that isn’t enough, Sunday is the equally spectacular European Classics concours at nearby Mar-a-Lago Club, where, once again, vintage Ferraris take center stage.
The primary focus of the Cavallino Classic is Saturday’s concours, with this year’s show honoring the 60th anniversary of the Ferrari 375 competition cars. Here’s a sampling of just some of the many rare, historic and simply beautiful automobiles that proudly wear the yellow prancing horse badge.
This competition 375MM was on display at the Ferrari Classiche booth to promote Ferrari’s in-house restoration facility.
The world’s most spectacular, and coveted, automobile, a 1962 GTO.
The early competition Testa Rossa models such as this 1958 250 TR are some of the most wildly shaped racing cars ever created.
Finished in a rarely seen champagne-and-black color combination, this incredibly gorgeous Ferrari is a Vignale-bodied 1953 Europa.
One of the prettiest Ferraris on the field was this 1953 212 Europa PF Inter, with a perfectly proportioned Pinin Farina body and Borrani wire wheels.
Cavallino judges are many of the world’s top Ferrari experts and historians; here they are examining a 250L, better known as a Lusso.
This pair of 365 GTB/4 Daytonas included this recently restored 1971 competition model, and a rarely seen 1969 model in pale yellow.
The stunningly beautiful black Ferrari is a 1951 212 Inter with body by Vignale; alongside sits a pair of 250 GT Tour de France models, better known as TDFs.
With its three distinctive vents the head-on view of the 250 GTO is quite menacing.
One of the rarest competition Ferraris ever built was this 1953 375MM Pinin Farina Spyder.
This shapely 246GT Dino sports one of the rarest Ferrari colors, metallic brown.
A pair of the ultra-fast F40s.
A pair of 2008 F430s. The silver blue car is a Spider and the yellow model is a Scuderia.
Two of the more popular production models included this red 1969 365 GT 2+2 and a silver 1981 400i.
This metallic blue 1989 328 GTS attracted lots of attention among all the other 308s and 328s.
Not all of the Ferraris on the show field were in concours condition, as this 1971 365 GTB/4 Daytona proves.
One of the most desirable Ferraris ever built: a 1967 275 GTB/4.
No Ferrari gathering can be deemed complete without at least one very exotic Enzo in attendance.
