The 20th annual “Cars on Fifth Concours” brought an unparalleled luxury automotive experience to Naples, showcasing over 700 high-end vehicles including Ferraris, Maseratis, Corvettes, and Shelbies. Organized by the Naples Chapter of the Ferrari Club of America, this event has been dubbed by Dupont Registry as the best one-day show in America. Tom O’Riodan, president of the Ferrari Club of America, highlighted the significance of this event, not only as a premier gathering for car enthusiasts but also as a vital fundraiser. All proceeds from the three-day Naples Automotive Experience go to support St. Matthew’s House, a local organization dedicated to combating hunger, homelessness, and addiction for over 35 years.
The event attracted thousands, offering attendees more than just a glimpse into the world of luxury cars. It celebrated the rich stories and the people behind these extraordinary vehicles. Among the attendees was Shawn Shelby, grandson of the legendary American automotive designer Carroll Shelby. Sharing a personal anecdote, Shawn recounted a memorable drive with his grandfather in a Series One from Las Vegas to Long Beach, highlighting the deep connections and memorable experiences that cars can evoke.
As the Naples Automotive Experience proceeded, the anticipation grew for the concluding events, including a supercar rally in LaBelle and a motorcar auction aiming to raise $1.5 million for St. Matthews House.
