Palm Beach Cavallino Classic

When I have been there, the mix was pretty good. Not necessarily the uber-old stuff --- but 60's and 70's stuff was indeed on the tour. IMHO, there's nothing more wonderful than the sounds, sights, and smells of seeing these vehicles in motion and you simply don't get that on the concours field.

 

That's how it was when I attended, 1992-2005 and 2008 but of course that is a long time ago.

 

This person has had many, many cars judged at Cavallino, and knows of what he speaks. Say hello to Eva for me!

Not gonna lie, kinda bummed that you have to pay $5k+ just to go to the track day, all the way down in Opa Locka. I know…kind of out of their control in regards to PBIR shutting down, but still. One of my fondest memories was seeing Cox driving his 250 GTO on the track properly.

Sadly, I only saw two classics take to the track per their Instagram story.

You should try walking up to the car. You won't get too far.

 

Awesome, I acquired my 83 308 last year, I have never been to any Ferrari event. I think it seems the cruise and the after party is a decent value, followed by a GA ticket for Saturday, I’m going next year and making a vacation out of it. Looks like a lot of fun, to whoever’s there this year have a great time, keep those pice coming Rob thank you

 

How many cars are on the tour?

 

Wow just a 512 BBi, zero other classics, the wheel of time turns....
Thanks for posting.

 

That plus as the years go by the old cars are driven less and less...but to be fair that is the case in all events and south Florida roads are zero fun to drive, flat, straight super low speed limits, rude cops everywhere so zero incentive to drive.

I can still recall 2005: Matsuda in a pontoon fendered Testa Rossa somewhere between the Breakers and the Palm Beach polo, way out in the middle of non descript strip malls wondering why he had brought cars half way across the world...for that. He looked bewildered.

 

All kinds of Ferraris down there locally. Where were they? They'll be there tomorrow I think. Hope so.

 

Couple of things to consider:
Most owners/people with "Vintage" cars, including Ferraris, have already long ago become (or long been ?) pu**yfied about actually driving theirs extensively.
Besides, last I heard/read, there isn't many, if any, interesting roads/routes in FL, especially in South, to enjoy driving pleasures with any vintage cars, let alone ones best enjoyed spiritedly.
Tours like this are perhaps more likely for those "influencers" and/or their followers ?
