Cavallino Classic 2020

By

Tom Peck’s 750 Monza prototype, s/n 0428 MD, won the Scuderia Ferrari Cup at the Cavallino Classic, awarded to the finest competition Ferrari on the field. This Ferrari started out as a 500 Mondial in 1954, but was quickly upgraded to a 750 Monza at the factory.

The 29th annual Cavallino Classic was held from January 22 to 26 in Palm Beach, Florida, headquartered at The Breakers Hotel and Resort. I’ve been lucky enough to have attended 26 of these Ferrari fests, many as a concours judge and concours entrant (for 2020, I was an entrant). This year, the weather was great, the Ferrari turnout was great, and it was great to reunite with dozens of Ferrari friends.

This year was the 24th edition of the Cavallino Classic, held on January 21-25. The fourth and last day of the Cavallino Classic is dedicated to a charity brunch at Mar A Lago with the exhibition of stunning cars other than just Ferraris. At Mar A Lago, many wonderful cars were on the lawn. The parking lots were also full of interesting cars, many for sale. These photos were taken both at Mar A Lago, the Breakers and some at the Palm Beach International Raceway.

Sun sets on yet another great day at Palm Beach.

In January, VeloceToday correspondent Jonathan Sharp left the comforts of home in Great Britain to enjoy the warm temperatures and blue skies of Palm Beach. He reports about what he found at and on the way to Cavallino. His notebook begins with Wednesday through Friday below, and continues with Saturday and Sunday in a further article. Please note the lack of owner’s names in all three articles; this intentional and by their request.

Wednesday 23rd January, Palm Beach

Hi Peter, well we made it – amazing, given the recent snow fall at home in England. We seem to have grabbed the only snow-free day to fly out. I am told that nothing is moving in my home town today and it is impossible to get to the end of my road due to the snow, but then England does not do snow very well. The weather here in Palm Beach is amazing, temperature in the mid-70s, sun and blue sky. My brain is struggling to cope with the fact that it’s January. The atmosphere is building in the town with plenty of Ferraris to be seen.

Saturday, The Breakers

The WOW factor started on the walk from the Chesterfield hotel to the Breakers. A lovely, warm, bright-blue-skied morning was enlivened by the sound of two V12s running in convoy, a beautiful special-bodied 250TdF followed by the 375MM, both motoring towards the Breakers. I certainly hastened my step after seeing and hearing that!

The first major event of the Cavallino Classic XX was the Florida Trophy, a two-day track meet at Palm Beach International Raceway on Thursday and Friday, January 20 & 21. Over 120 competition Ferraris revived memories of past and present glory, as their owners drove these historic machines again in a race course setting.

Saturday was the concorso at the Breakers, and finally Sunday the last event in Mar-a-Lago, a wonderful club in Palm Beach: not only Ferraris but also a lot of fantastic old cars including Rolls, Mercedes, Cunningham, etc. Below are photos from Mar-a-Lago and Palm Beach International.
