Who cares? There was much to see in the Paddock as well, and our members took full advantage of that to take photos and check out all the race cars.
The rallye is open to 40 cars and is priced at $250 per car (includes two people for breakfast, lunch, and champagne toast).

Tim Allen? The Larry Wilson Collection is a private display of nearly 100 cars which includes Porsches, Jaguar, MG, Mercedes-Benz, various race cars, numerous special interest cars and so many other things. It’s South Florida in February during President’s Week.There was also a handpicked circle of AACA cars, collaboration between Boca and the AACA that began with the Boca’s founding.And let’s not discount the local citizenry, who love the Concours gala dinner and silent auction, which this year featured celebrities Tim Allen and Jay Leno. He played his entire 13-year career with the Cardinals and remained on the team's payroll until 2003, long after the team moved to Arizona in 1988.. Wilson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall … It’s a living collection, in that it is constantly changing as various unique cars become available, and as others are restored through an onsite fabrication shop.
There were plenty of historic racing 911’s and 914’s there as well, so there was something for anyone who is a Porsche fan.
No need to register, buy now! Any questions? It was a great event with great people in two great venues.

Bob Newhart, Jeff Foxworthy, Howie Mandel, Dennis Miller have appeared in years past.What would you do with $10 million?Credit some amazing local sponsors, like auto dealer Rick Case, the founder of the event, as well as AutoNation, headquartered in Broward County.Concours may have become a dime a dozen, but Boca proves its merit by delivering good times, great weather, along with a reasonably interesting car show. The cars are not in a static display, but rather regularly started and occasionally driven in various events, such as Brian Redman’s “Targa Sixty-Six” at Palm Beach International Raceway. The highlight of the day for many of Space Coast members was the opportunity to take their own Porsches out on the track for an extended session of “spirited laps.” There were many smiles as the cars came off the track! The Larry Wilson Collection houses some of the most desirable and sought-after collector cars in the country.

Next, was the short drive to Brian Redman’s event where Space Coast members were treated to seeing rare and exotic race cars in action on the track and throughout the Paddock. Don’t count on it.Other special displays included a selection of Florida beach cars, with such usual suspects as a 1973 Fiat Jolly, 1957 BMW Isetta 300, 1955 Willys Utility Station Wagon, 1949 Ford Custom station wagon, and a 1964 Amphicar, which surely proved helpful during Hurricane Irma. He was a Naval Veteran serving a European Tour of Duty.
Is it a concours? It’s 80 degrees and sunny.Look for next year’s show to be held February 22-24, 2019.Not to be overlooked were cars from the collection of Palm Beach collector Larry Wilson, the show’s “Collector of the Year.”And if you’re bummed that you missed Jay Leno this year, don’t worry; he’ll be back next year.
