I recently attended what may be the best car show I’ve been to yet. It was called Concorso Ferrari, and it was held in sunny Pasadena, California. My uncle’s friend is a judge for Concorso Ferrari, and was kind enough to let me shadow him as he judged the Ferrari 360 Modena class.
There were 160 cars in attendance, and my uncle’s friend and two other incredibly nice judges were there to judge eight cars.
Some of the cars that I was able to watch being judged were beyond flawless, while two were daily drivers. The owners of the daily drivers were fine to tell the judges that. Their theory is that a Ferrari is meant to be driven, and it would be a waste of money to let it sit in the garage to only come out for shows.
While 160 cars doesn’t sound like a lot, you have to remember that they took up three blocks, with cars parked at the curb and in the lanes. I’m not sure exactly how many people were in attendance, but it was well over three thousand. To say that it was crowded would be an understatement.
If you told me to pick just one highlight from the show, I couldn’t. It was a truly amazing experience, and I urge you to come down to Pasadena next year to experience it for yourself. You probably won’t be invited to shadow a judge, but you’ll be able to see truly beautiful cars, meet nice people, and get expensive merchandise (the hat and mug I got cost around $80).
Enjoy the pictures I took.





I have more pictures, but they’re basically all of the cars shown above. I have attached the album link on Facebook for you all to drool over. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.917013121670207.1073741830.692811890756999&type=3
Also, if you are on Facebook and haven’t already liked my blog, please do so! I’m really pushing to get more likes on the page(I will post pictures, you can comment, etc.). You can be part of a movement!
I am definitely of the drive it now mentality! YOLA!!!
Good for you! I’m of the same mentality!
not sure, but i think this is how Judge Judy started
Well hardy har har
I happen to know that Marcus, the Ferrari Judge, thinks that Candler is already capable of acting like a world-class judge of all things excellent (as far as Ferraris are concerned).
We are all looking forward to the day that Candler is out there with his own clipboard – looking for small scratches and blemishes in outrageous cars !
After judging comes owning?!
At some point!
Candler will surprise you all when he comes purring up the driveway in his new red Ferarri.
That he will. It may not be a surprise!
