Cavallino Classic XXV
Twenty five years of Ferraris at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, FL. There is no shortage of car activity during the week, however Saturday is the big day at Cavallino Classic. Saturday is the Concours.
The very top lawn (croquet course) is reserved for special Ferraris; rare vintage, one offs, speciales, and interesting historical.
The next level, on the golf course at the top of the tee, had (most of) the Best-in-Show winners from the previous twenty four years. Impressive. Then, the cars are lined up down the fairway by general entry and grouped together by overall type.
The scoring rules have recently changed. It used to be that to earn a Platinum Award a car had to be judged (IAC/PFA) 94 points and higher. Now a car has to receive 97 points and higher, and the Second and Third Place Gold and Silver Awards have been completely eliminated. Others differ in opinion but I think it is an improvement.
Now to the cars…
