The Palm Beach Cup for Best of Show is won by the 1924 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Cabriolet. This was also the Pebble Beach Best of Show from 2015.
Gentlemen’s Choice is a veritable tie – impossible to choose between two rare and gorgeous Alfa Romeos, and sister cars too – the 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Berlinetta and the 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Berlinetta. This latter example was also a Pebble Beach Best of Show winner of several years ago. Most Unique was the always fun 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic.
International Judges voted for the Multiple Awards and Marque categories.
Another successful year! We thank all friends of Ferrari, the owners who brought their Ferraris, as well as sponsors, patrons, and staff, The Breakers and Mar-a-Lago. See you all next year!
