Celebrating our 2025 Award Winners.
Gasparilla Cars-In-The-Park returns December 5, 2026. In the months leading to the show, we’ll celebrating some of our Award Winners. Robert Beiler of West Melbourne, Florida, was the recipient of the Best in Show Award, sponsored by Hillsborough County, with his stunning 1950 Jaguar XK120.

Introduced in 1948, the XK120 quickly earned international acclaim as the fastest production car in the world at the time. Powered by a 3.4-liter inline six featuring an aluminum cylinder head and dual overhead camshafts, it marked Jaguar’s triumphant return to sports-car production following the end of SS100 manufacturing in 1939.

The latest entry to our 2026 Cars-In-The-Park Car Corral. This 1953 MG runs and drives like a dream. The engine has been rebuilt, and the carburetor has been factory-tuned. The brakes were rebuilt less than 500 miles ago. The interior has fewer than 5,000 miles, and the tonneau cover is nearly new with under 500 miles of use. Side curtains and a car cover are included.
A familiar sight in the Dunedin and Safety Harbor Christmas parades, this car has carried up to four children during the festivities and has provided countless evening cruises around Clearwater Beach for friends and family. It’s a solid, dependable car ready to create many more lasting memories.
