Palm Beach (FL), 22 January, 2011

The third day of this years Cavallino Classics saw the Concours in the famous Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach. After a rather modest attendance at the track days the previous days it was joy to see so many cars entered in the concours itself. The stream of cars coming up the driveway of the Breakers to the registration desk did not seem to stop and when all cars were guided to their designated spot one could see that there was not much room left either in the upper nor in the lower lawn.

This year highlights included many 250 GT Cabriolets with no less than 5 California Spyders, a Series 1 Cabriolet and four Series 2 Cabriolet by Pininfarina. Among the California Spyder where 3 rare competition LWB models with alloy body.

Among the earlier models a 212 Export Vignale (0092E) that already won its class at last years Pebble Beach Concours and a very beautiful 375 America in light blue were some of the people favourites, the later was already awarded with the people´s choice at the aviation jet center party two days ago. Further entries included a 250 and a 375 MM and a 212 Inter Ghia Coupé still having its original interior after all these years.

In the competition class beside the 250 GT LWB and SWBs a 275/250 P (0812) and a 196 SP (0802) plus a small 206 SP Dino were displayed.

In the center of the upper lawn a special display of Zagato bodied Ferraris show the original design on the 250 GT LWB and its modern interpretation on the 575.

On the lower lawn a class with several 275s and 365 in all variations led to the more modern cars including Enzo, F40 and the street cars of the last 30 years. As already mentioned above the field was packed with a large number of cars and many visitors were present throughout the day making this years concours again a big success. Unfortunately the weather was not as expected for this season in the Sunshine State with the sun out just occasionally and a cold wind in the afternoon, but at least it was dry all the day.

We have selected a small preview to give you an impression what was going on at the concours and a more extensive review will follow the next days.
