Start Your Engine: Barrett-Jackson Comes to Palm Beach

If you’ve ever wanted to own a vehicle driven by Captain Kirk, now’s your chance.

   William Shatner will be in West Palm Beach to auction off two of his cars at the Barrett-Jackson auto auction (480-421-6694), taking place April 8-10 at the South Florida Fairgrounds. This year’s annual event brings a hearty dose of horsepower with 200 vehicles as well as fine art, jewelry, gourmet cuisine, and live performances. The festivities kick off April 7 with an opening-night gala reception at the auction arena.

   Looking to drive off in a showstopper? We’ve rounded up five head-turning whips on the docket at this year’s auction.
