36 FEATURE:
• Ferrari Does Detroit…
• Loads of chrome trim, big broad whitewall tires, bright contrasting paint scheme, plush luxury appointments – a car made really for post-war America.
• It was a showcase car for both Ferrari and Pinin Farina, making the rounds of all the early Italian Concorso d’Eleganza.
• It came to America, lost its engine, lost its sex appeal, and was stored away for an uncertain future.
• But Europe took it back, found its engine, put it all back together and now we have this period piece to savor.
