The Palm Beach Cavallino Classic has long stood as one of North America’s most rarefied celebrations of Ferrari, a blue-riband concours where historically significant cars from Maranello gather each winter amid palm trees and ocean air. This year, the 35th edition of the storied event expands its luxury footprint with a highly anticipated live boutique auction, further cementing its status as an essential moment on the global collector-car calendar.
Cavallino, which is part of duPont REGISTRY Group, continues to elevate the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic as a destination experience for owners, collectors and enthusiasts alike. The event’s Concorso d’Eleganza will unfold on the 18th fairway of The Boca Raton’s golf course, offering a picturesque setting for a carefully selected field of Ferraris. This year’s concours introduces a completely new show field layout, an enhanced check-in process and a reimagined awards ceremony.
The day will conclude with the Cavallino Auction by RM Sotheby’s, followed by the traditional Cavallino Night – an elegant finale that blends concours culture, high-end hospitality and world-class collecting. Together, the concours and auction reaffirm the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic’s position at the intersection of luxury lifestyle and automotive heritage, where Ferrari’s past and present continue to command center stage.
Presented in partnership with RM Sotheby’s, the one-day sale will take place Saturday, Feb. 14, at 8:30 pm, bringing a tightly curated selection of Ferrari Classiche-certified and Cavallino Platinum Award-winning automobiles to the block. Drawn from across the marque’s illustrious history, the 16 lots reflect the highest standards of provenance, originality and concours pedigree – precisely the attributes prized by the Cavallino Classic’s deeply knowledgeable audience.
Leading the sale is a 2015 LaFerrari, Ferrari’s hybrid hypercar halo model, which carries an estimate of $4.45 million to $4.75 million. Close behind is a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 by Scaglietti, one of the most coveted front-engine V-12 berlinettas of the era, estimated at $3.4 million to $3.6 million. Rounding out the headline cars are two elegant grand tourers from Ferrari’s golden age: a 1955 Ferrari 250 Europa GT Coupe by Pinin Farina and a 1964 Ferrari 500 Superfast Series I by Pininfarina, each expected to achieve between $1.3 million and $1.6 million.
Beyond the automobiles, the auction embraces the broader mythology of the Prancing Horse. Among the more esoteric offerings is a bespoke two-piece suit made for Enzo Ferrari, accompanied by dress shoes. Offered without reserve, the ensemble is expected to bring $100,000 to $200,000.
Also crossing the block are signed helmets worn by Ferrari Formula 1 drivers Charles Leclerc and Gerhard Berger, further underscoring the sale’s appeal to collectors of Ferrari automobilia and motorsports history.
