In Blantyre, a motor cavalcade of several cars caused a sensation, as it was the first time many residents had ever seen a motorized vehicle.
The word "motorcade" was actually derived from (originally a procession on horseback) in the early 1900s by replacing the prefix to reflect the shift from horses to motors.
Motor cavalcades are frequently used during political campaigns or social demonstrations to show community support or deliver petitions.
Modern enthusiasts organize events like the Motorcar Cavalcade to showcase rare hypercars, such as the Hennessey Venom F5 and various Bugatti models. Cultural Etymology
