The Breakers’ lawn was swept by a sea of Ferrari red Saturday with the kickoff of the 33rd annual Palm Beach Cavallino Classic‘s “Concorso d’Eleganza.”
Over 2,000 people gathered to see the 150 Ferraris on display in what is considered to be one of the largest Ferrari showcases in the world. Attracting Ferrari collectors from around the world, the event is reserved for automobiles epitomizing Ferrari’s engineering ingenuity and its classic style.
With 125 vintage Ferraris up for judging, collectors compete for 25 awards, including the coveted Best in Show awards, a collector’s potential ticket to the famed Peninsula Hotel Group’s “Best of the Best” competition alongside winners from seven other prestigious classic-car events, or concours.
This year’s Concorso d’Eleganza also marked the anniversary of three notable Ferrari models, the 60-year anniversary of the 275 GTB and GTS, the 40-year anniversary of the 288 GTO and the 40-year anniversary of the Testarossa.
Kicking off the event was a welcome ceremony featuring a speech by Luigi Orlandini, founder, chairman and CEO of Canossa, the Italian car show organizer leading the event.
