Life in Classic at Palm Beach Cavallino Classic

Step into the world of Ferraris at the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic

The 33rd edition of the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic concluded this past Sunday with a spectacular display of collectible Ferraris, earning praise from enthusiastic collectors and captivated spectators alike. This renowned Concorso d’Eleganza continues to uphold its historical mission of preserving and promoting Ferrari’s rich legacy.

“We feel honored to continue the 46-year legacy of Cavallino Magazine and the 33-year tradition of Palm Beach Cavallino Classic. These two initiatives have significantly contributed to preserving and restoring Ferraris from all eras in the United States,” said Luigi Orlandini, President & CEO of Cavallino. “John Barnes’ unwavering passion has left no room, over all these years, for compromises or exceptions to these high standards.”

As we steer Cavallino towards the future, our goal is to ensure that every aspect of the event offers a thoroughly enjoyable experience while giving back to our community by donating a portion of each entry to charitable projects such as the Palm Beach Scholarship Fund, the Police and Firefighters Foundation, or the A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation in West Palm Beach. The success of this year’s gathering underscores its status as the world’s premier event organized in the name of the Prancing Horse. My sincerest thanks to all participants, esteemed guests, and those supporting our efforts, especially our valued sponsors, partners, and the incredible team of passionate individuals who made all of this possible.

In a fusion of culture and glamour, Cavallino 2024 featured dynamic sessions with experts and collectors, along with exhibitions, starting with the Tour d’Eleganza rally and the Under the Stars Party, enhanced by music from students of the A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts, playing under a bright full moon.

The Concorso also showcased a unique culinary experience from chefs Michele Casadei Massari of Lucciola New York and Juan Manuel Barrientos of El Cielo Miami. Their creations skillfully blended tradition with modernity, creating a delicious fusion between food and automotive culture.

The rigorous IAC/PFA evaluation system posed a significant challenge for the 55 judges tasked with selecting vehicles for the prestigious “Best” award. In the last two years, in addition to the traditional “Best in Show,” “Granturismo,” and “Competizione” awards, a third prestigious award has been introduced for vehicles certified by Ferrari Classiche. This new category aligns perfectly with Cavallino Classic’s mission to protect and appreciate the global heritage of collectible Ferraris and reflects Ferrari’s dedication to helping customers preserve these automotive treasures. To understand the level of excellence present at Concorso 2024, out of the 150 registered cars, 61 achieved the Platinum Award, with an exceptionally high score of 82 out of 100 from the judges.

The Best of Show Granturismo 2024 is awarded to the 1952 Ferrari 212 Inter Ghia #0191EL owned by Dennis and Susan Garrity.
