Who doesn’t love cars? Men love buying them, women love driving them. And with Naples, Florida having the one of most population with the highest earning income, it’s no surprise that we see the best kinds of luxury cars driving all around town. This love for machines culminates in the Annual Cars on Fifth in Naples, Florida brought to us by the Ferrari Club of America. Here, we see owners and enthusiasts gather in a day-long event on Fifth Avenue South to display their best luxury and vintage cars and share useful information about the automobile world in general.
Well polished luxury brands and the restored vintage cars would sparkle brightly under the bright southwest Florida sun in such a yearly gathering. The owners sit proudly on their chairs as they watch the enthusiasts and the kids take pictures and admire their mechanical babies. Several hundred cars of varying paint jobs, brands and models would be present. Jaguar models, Porsche, Bentley and Ferrari, all these and more are easily found and be applauded if you happen to such an awesome event. And the visitors are then treated to a live open- air rock performance to seal the deal. Proceeds go to feed the homeless, so this event is not all about lavishness as the occasion is also about giving back to the community and the less fortunate.
When every participant has showed up, the Corvettes, Bentleys, Mercedes cars, the vintage models and other luxury brands of vibrant red, white, gray and orange all make a short parade in the streets of the downtown area, with a truly jam-packed crowd on the sides, cheering the owners and taking even more pictures of their cars. However, the real stars of the show are the various Ferrari cars, numbering to almost a hundred, that take center stage and this always brings joy to the automobile enthusiasts present; not bad for an event that started 13 years ago that had only 40-50 cars in display.
Cars on Fifth in Naples, Florida is a one of a kind celebration of man’s love for machine. Gatherings such as this inspire camaraderie and the building of new friendships amongst owners (of both vintage and newer models) as they share their common passions with each other. This also inspires young people to learn more about cars and develop respect for the right way of driving. Overall, Cars on Fifth in Naples, Florida fosters a more cohesive community through the love of cars.
