Motorcar Cavalcade, the lavish, must-attend event for every automobile enthusiast from connoisseur to the car-curious, is returning to the lush fairway of the JW Marriott Turnberry Resort’s championship golf course on January 15th in Aventura.
The event, now in its second year, is a departure from the standard Concours shows seen throughout the world. The Motorcar Cavalcade judging panel pairs automotive experts with VIP celebrities and sports stars in an entertaining and subjective evaluation. The real twist of this particular Concours is that both classic and modern vehicles compete in the same classes. Over 100 classic and modern cars playfully compete in 16 atypical classes such as Dashboards, Doors, Tails, Sound, and Engine to secure their prized trophy.
The 2023 event judges comprise of some of the world’s leading automotive figures including Motorsports Hall of Fame racing legends Lyn St. James and Tommy Kendall. Other influential individuals have been confirmed as judges such as former Miami Heat basketball player Alonzo Mourning, auction house Phillips Watches’ Head of Americas Paul Boutros, and General Motors Designer Wayne Kady, to name a few. “This year’s Motorcar Cavalcade will be nothing short of incredible” says Jason Wenig, Motorcar Cavalcade Co-Executive Director. “We have a lineup of cars never-before-seen in South Florida and are thrilled to have our esteemed judges including former female race car driver Lyn St. James involved in the Concours.” Lyn will be the Saturday Car Rally Honoree and lead the procession. She will also be involved in a “Fireside Chat” during the event to talk about women in motorsports and in leadership roles in the car world and beyond.
Adding an exciting Hollywood touch to this year’s highly- anticipated Concours is a car straight from the silver screen, the extremely rare yet distinctly recognizable 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder that was used in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, brought to the show by Hagerty. French champagne house Laurent-Perrier will also showcase their pink 1968 Citroen DS, aptly named “Bubbles,” which coincides with the year in which the champagne house launched their Cuvée Rosé. As an event sponsor, Laurent-Perrier will host a lounge serving the brand’s fine champagne. Other sponsors include Warren Henry Auto Group, Regent Cruises, Fraser Yachts, Hennessey Performance Engineering, and Hagerty, among others. In an exciting debut, Hennessey will unveil its new Venom 5 Roadster, a bespoke hypercar engineered to exceed 300 mph as the world’s most exhilarating open-air driving experience.
The full list of participating vehicles in Motorcar Cavalcade will be announced closer to the event. Limited ticketing is available to the general public for $575 for the Sunday Concours. Motorcar Cavalcade has partnered with the American Cancer Society, and will hold a digital auction before and during the show with 100% of the proceeds donated to the ACS.
