A Beautiful Curtiss Vintage Motorcycle & Car Show in Miami Springs

You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful Saturday than we experienced today.  Low humidity and pure sunshine to spotlight the beautiful cars and classic motorcycles presented at the 2nd annual Glenn Curtiss Vintage Motorcycle and Classic Car Show.

For history fans, the highlight of the show was the replica of Glenn Curtiss’ V8 powered motorcycle that propelled him in 1907 to 136.8 mph near Daytona Beach to achieve the status of World’s Fastest Man.  Watch the V8 powered monster roar to life from our Instagram live feed below:

If you’re not a motorcycle fan, that’s okay.  There were plenty of cool cars including modern exotics and antique motorcars.  Keep scrolling to see some of the automotive beauties.

Curtiss V8 Powered Motorcycle

The star of the show was definitely the Curtiss V8 Powered Motorcycle.  While not the true original, this meticulously crafted replica shows the genius Curtiss put into creating the legendary speedster.

Vintage Motorcycles

Scores of classic motorcycles were lined up on the inside of the Circle.  Everything from BMWs and Ducatis, to Kawasakis and Harleys.

Cool Cars

One of the things we love about the Glenn Curtiss Vintage Motorcycle and Classic Car Show is the quality of cars that are presented are of a much higher caliber.  Look no further than the Aston Martin shown below and you’ll notice this isn’t your average car show.

We still love the classic Chevys and Mustangs, but it’s nice to see some of the upscale cars like this swanky Lexus.

Or how about this lineup of classic Porsches?

This classic Rolls Royce was a shining example of the quality automobiles presented at this year’s show.  But notice the sheer size of this “car”.  Today, that would be considered an SUV.

The show had modern classics like this Dodge Viper.

But you could also find classic muscle cars like this Chevy SS.

Celebrities

The biggest celebrity of all was none other than Glenn Curtiss.  Or at least a young man dressed up like Glenn Curtiss as part of Miami Springs’ 100 year Centennial Celebration.

Virginia Gardens Mayor Spencer Deno, Miami Springs Mayor Walter Fajet, and Florida State Representative Alex Rizo, were all on hand to join in the celebration.

Miami-Dade County Commissioner, Natalie Milian Orbis, was also on hand along with her young family.

Miami Springs Council Members Fabian Perez-Crespo and Jorge Santin joined Walter Fajet, Alex Rizo, and Spencer Deno on stage to support the event.

We want to thank everyone involved to make the Glenn Curtiss Vintage Motorcycle and Classic Car Show an incredible success.  It highlighted, not only the beautiful vehicles, but the beauty of Miami Springs and our wonderful community.

God bless you all.
