Fifth Annual ItalianCarFest to Honor Lamborghini

Fifth Annual ItalianCarFest to Honor Lamborghini

ItalianCarFest Weekend ‘07, the largest celebration of Italian cars in the Southwest, will honor Lamborghini, host the final round of the national Best Spider Challenge and welcome a secret Lamborghini factory honored guest on September 21-23, 2007, in Grapevine, Texas. The Saturday concours will feature 160 spectacular automobiles and approximately 30 two-wheeled vehicles will be displayed along the shore of Lake Grapevine at Oak Grove Park. The fifth annual event is produced by the Italian Car Club of the Southwest.

“We’re returning to the shores of Lake Grapevine with our most exciting show yet,” said ItalianCarFest chairman, Bob Dezzany. “The show attracts vintage and contemporary masterpieces from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, DeTomaso, Alfa, FIAT and others.”

Lamborghini will be honored while 1968-1985 Fiat Spiders will be the featured models. One of the most recognizable and highly coveted vehicles in Italy’s rich automotive history, Lamborghinis have captured the hearts of the crowds during the ItalianCarFest since its inception in 2003. The Spider display will include the crowning of the top Fiat/Pininfarina Spider in North America during the final round of the Best Spider Challenge.

“Nothing symbolizes the beauty and performance of Italian machinery quite like a Lamborghini,” noted Italian Car Club of the Southwest president, Jerry Lee Phillips. “Texans have always been enamored by the ‘raging bull’ supercars and the panache they bring to our lives.”

ItalianCarFest Weekend ‘07 will kick off with a Friday evening reception at the magnificent Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine. The Saturday Concours will be held at Oak Grove Park from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and it is free to the public. That evening, ItalianCarFest will host a cocktail hour and silent auction, followed by dinner at the Gaylord Texan. On Sunday, Lamborghini Dallas and Boardwalk Ferrari will host a scenic drive and brunch.
