    While visiting my dad in Boynton Beach, I had a chance to attend the 9th Boca Raton Concours D'Elegance on a delightful 79-degree day (a lot warmer than Atlanta!).

    Of course there wouldn't be the quantity of Ferraris as one would see at the Cavallino, but there were a few, and a nice variety of other Italian cars. (Even Bizzarrini and Siata were represented.) Here are most of them. (Obviously, the last three were not in the show but were in the new-car dealer area.)

    This show has been getting better year after year and this was the best I have seen so far:
    for parking, variety of cars on display, for organization and for the judging process.
    The weather was just right as well.

    That Siata Berlinetta is one of the most gorgeous cars to come out of the 50's. Utterly timeless.

    Thx for sharing! :)

    That Ferrari with the number 2 on the sides left me puzzled, as it had an automatic transmission and I would not be surprised if there was also a V 8 under the hood.

    Also the yellow Ducati was listed as a Scrambler when in fact it is a 750 SS

    Worth noting that the silver 275 is one of the 10 NART Spider's.

    You are, in fact, correct; it has a 350 Chevy. The chassis number is 1175 GT.

    I believe this is a "cut" car that was mistakenly allowed on the field for Cavallino in 2012 or 2013. Without the serial # for confirmation, it's likely not a real one.

    I was in charge of directing cars between the registration table and the concours field before the show opened Saturday morning, as well as walking that specific area of the field during the show. The car might have been seen at some of the other ancillary events during the four days, it however, was not on the field during Saturday's concours.

    Last december a car was presented as a NART Spider at the Orlando Festival of Speed.

    I was excited to see it and hope it wasn't something else :(

    Here are a few pics of it.

    The car Bill pictured above is genuine, #9 of 10. Purchased last year by Dr Rich Workman from Clive Beecham of England. In looking at the show history for 2012-2013, there are several European shows referenced, but Cavallino is not mentioned. I believe the fake car on the Cavallino field in 2013 was another 275, not #10749.

    Thank you for the clarification. :)

    I was so happy I got to see and photograph one so close to home.
