The Breakers Hotel welcomed the roar of contemporary and vintage Ferrari’s to their quiet island for this year’s Cavallino Classic. Parking difficulties are always a great way to judge the crowd and we were hard-pressed to find a spot. All spaces were filled with Ferrari’s, Bentley’s, Lamborgini’s and so on. Restaurants and bars were full of great stories of Ferrari’s. As always, Palm Beach never disappoints.

It is fair to say that Barrett-Jackson is an incubator for future car collectors. They begin by watching the show on television, and at some point, they attend as a spectator. If the event resonates with them, they register to bid. Then they begin to buy and sell cars.
