Hedley Studios, the only company handcrafting precision scale models of iconic vintage cars, is pleased to announce their residency at the iconic Bal Harbour Shops, in conjunction with Bal Harbour’s 60th Anniversary celebration series. The one week exhibition will be located in the Center
Courtyard, welcoming visitors to blend luxury retail and drivable art experiences, with ten exquisite Hedley pieces on display from February 11th to 17th. Hedley Studios works in exclusive partnership with the world's foremost automotive brands, including Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, and Ferrari.
Bal Harbour Shops Access Members and clients purchasing a Hedley will also be invited to make a private Hedley appointment in the Access Suite to learn more about the collection with a specialist in an intimate setting. This will be the ideal way to become immersed in Hedley’s automotive history and customization options, and begin the journey to becoming a Hedley owner.
The Bal Harbour Shops Access Membership and Rewards program is free to join and includes exclusive offerings, bespoke benefits, specialized luxury experiences, and more.
From its inception, Bal Harbour Shops has been defined by innovation, and this new partnership between two world-class luxury leaders will offer guests the opportunity to explore Hedley’s drivable art up close, as they discover these extraordinary automotive history pieces. The stunning setting will play host to Hedley’s most sought after pieces, including:
The Aston Martin DB5 J - a fully electric 66% scale DB5 Cabriolet from 1963. The original is considered one of the most iconic and beautiful models in automotive history, notably having featured in multiple James Bond movies.
The Aston Martin DB5 J “No Time to Die” Edition - This special limited edition of the Aston Martin DB5 Junior is inspired by the 25th James Bond film, which sees the return of the iconic Aston Martin DB5. This fully electric gadget-laden collector’s item is a two-thirds scale version of the original. Its features include a rear smoke screen, gatling guns concealed behind the headlights and customizable revolving digital license plates.
The Ferrari Testa Rossa J - perhaps the most collectible and exclusive of all the Hedley creations, the Ferrari Testa Rossa J is a 75% scale, fully electric 1957 pontoon-fendered 250 Testa Rossa racing car. Hedley will display this beautiful piece in three liveries; Giallo Triplo Strato, Rosso Corsa and Argento Nurburgring.
The Bugatti Baby II - a 75% scale, fully electric Bugatti Type 35, developed using a full 3D scan of an original 1924 French Grand Prix car. The Bugatti Baby II has been impeccably hand-built and is adorned with a genuine solid silver Bugatti Macaron. Like the original, the Bugatti Baby II is a strictly limited edition. Three beautiful liveries will be on display at Bal Harbour Shops: White with the iconic Bugatti light blue stripe, French Racing Blue and Italian Red.
