Elegance reins at the 27th Cavallino Classic
New England in wintertime has always been synonymous with frigid temperatures, heaps of snow and hibernating classic cars that are eagerly awaiting warmer temperatures, and this year was no exception. Luckily there was an alternative, as the Cavallino Classic 27 formed a welcome reprieve to those seeker milder climates and automotive beauty in Palm Beach. Since 1992 the Cavallino Classic partnered with the equally iconic The Breakers hotel. Surrounded by oceanfront mansions,
Gentlemen, start your engines! NASCAR's Hall of Fame review.

2019 Aston Martin Vantage debuts at the New England Auto Show.
Now in it's sixth decade, the New England Auto Show has for several years successfully found its home at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
