The Cavallino Classic 2016 was held January 20-25 at the Breakers Resort Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2016, the five-day gathering for Ferrari owners and enthusiasts saw participants and their 400 exotic and classic cars attending from the United States and Europe.

The first event of the extravaganza was the Cavallino Classic Competition, a two-day track meet at Palm Beach International Raceway. A select field of competition Ferraris, Maseratis, Alfa Romeos and Bugattis tackled the 11-turn, 2.043 mile race track. (Full gallery here).

The high point of the Cavallino Classic was the Concorso d’Eleganza on the front lawn of the Breakers Resort Hotel, on Saturday, January 23, 2016. A field of 150 Ferrari automobiles were judged for originality and elegance, vying for Class Awards and the important Major Cups, along with the Cavallino Cup for Best in Show. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, this year’s event featured Best of Show Winners from the previous events.

Best of Show Competition at the Cavallino Classic 2016 was awarded to the 1954 Ferrari 250 Monza PF Spider (0432M) owned by Dana Mecum, while the Best of Show Gran Turismo Ferrari award was given to the 1960 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Superfast II (2207 SA) of Lee Harrington.

The finale for the 2016 Cavallino Classic was ‘Classic Sports Sunday’ at Mar-a-Lago, the Marjorie Merriweather Post mansion in Palm Beach. This year’s Classic Sports Sunday featured the ‘Automotive Romance of Alfa Romeo’, as automobiles were displayed on the grounds, including American, Italian, French, British and German classics. Best of Show was awarded to the 1924 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A F. Cabriolet owned by Jim Patterson. (Full gallery to be published soon).

Similar to 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, Sports Car Digest also documented the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic 2016, with photographer Michael DiPleco offering the following pictures of the Ferraris on the lawns of the Breaker Hotel.
