From my annual trip to south Florida:

Actually, I travel to south Florida quite often to see my dad, who is now 95, but most of those trips are "quickies", without time for sightseeing. In December, though, my extended work break gives me a chance to do more things, including a pilgrimage to Fort Lauderdale to see the local exotic car "attractions". So I did that on Friday, the day after Christmas.

My first stop was on the northside, at Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale, where the main showroom was full of nice, late model Ferraris and Maseratis. The most unique one was a 458 spider in the not-often-seen color Rosso Dino, which of course is really more orange than red.

The adjacent "pre-owned" room, though, usually has something more interesting (such as a Koenigsegg or a Carrera GT), but that was not the case this year, the RS 4.0 being the most interesting car in there. At least I got their nice annual calendar to hang in my garage.

Perhaps the most unique sight was outside, a couple of Maseratis apparently just off the boat and still mostly shrink-wrapped!

I headed back to I-95 to bypass downtown and go to the southside, where my first stop was at Tim Stanford's shop, which was closed; not really a surprise for a Friday after Christmas. I'll bet Tim was probably up here, seeing relatives in Jasper.

I cruised up US-1 to the Motorcar Gallery, where our old friend Steve Ahlgrim gave me a tour of the cars on hand. This place deals a lot in cars like Excaliburs, C2 Corvettes, Maserati Boras, de Tomaso Mangustas, BMW M1s and '50s Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, but there was actually a Euro-model Ferrari 328 on the floor.

The buildings in back had a few gems such as a Bizzarrini GT, a C5 Corvette that had actually been a course car at Le Mans, and a rare Bentley Continental drophead that was basically their version of a Rolls-Royce Corniche.

On Steve's suggestion, as I continued north on US-1, I stopped by the Fort Lauderdale Collection for the first time. This resembles the old Auto Toy Store that used to be in the same vicinity.

There was plenty of exotica on hand, including an open-top Testarossa, an Bugatti Veyron, a Mansory Mercedes SLR, an Auburn Speedster that was probably a reproduction (but a very good one) and a Phantom Coupe.

After that, I made my usual lunch stop at Skyline Chili for their great Cincinnati-style 5-Way (don't knock it until you try it!) and headed back to my dad's place, quite satisfied with my photo haul.

There were no production open Testarossa spiders; they were all conversions, mostly by Straman, I believe. I once saw a 328 that had been similarly converted to a full spider (as opposed to a Targa-type).
