| 8 | Notizie | New Insurance Program announced for Ferraris Greg Ohner Steve Kastner Insuring the physical damage for high end speciality cars can be extremely costly and even prohibitive for some owners. The high cost for such insurance, as well as the restrictive coverage available, has cause some owners to risk going without insurance or underinsuring their vehicles. In response to this problem, Frank B. Hall & Co. of San Francisco, California, has arranged an Automobile Physical Damage Insurance Program for Ferrari owners that provides both improved coverages and very reasonable premiums. |

| 14 | Corse | Persevere - Much work ahead Ferraris carrying the Flag Paul Khoo Dark days ahead, it appears, for our heroes. The season does not progress too well, but then Luca di Montezemolo, the new President of Ferrari, had warned everyone early on that 1992 would be a transitional year, not only with the cars but with the team as well. Many team members have been replaced as Mr. Montezemolo strives to recreate the atmosphere of the mid-1970s, when a cohesive Ferrari team won two World Championships through sheer grit and determination. South African Grand Prix, March 1, 1992 Ferrari F92A has teething problems Mexican Grand Prix, March 22, 1992 A low point is reached Brazilian Grand Prix, April 5, 1992 Things are better, and hopes are raised |
| 18 | Corse | The Grand Prix Tire Formula One Championship Jerry McDermott Courtesy of Goodyear The Grand Prix car is such a fine balance between lift and downforce that the average fan may not think that very much is involved. The same is true with tires and fuel, which could be seen a simple items. However, all are incredibly complex and are all tied together. As we shall see, the modern race tire is a vital part of the equation and is, in itself, a very complicated item. |
| 22 | Fotografia | A moment in time captured by Louis Klemantaski Ferraris captured in the best light Michael T. Lynch Louis Klemantaski This picture deserves both the eye of an historian and that of an art critic. Louis Klementaski has created a scene that could have been painted by a French impressionist. Typical of his body of work, people share the focus with the racing car. Here we see the preparation of the Luigi Chinetti "Heldé" (Pierre-Louis Dreyfus) Ferrari 195 S before the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans. |
| 24 | Feature | The Yellow 375 MM s/n 0460 AM There are 375s and there are 375s - this one has some tales to tell Henry Rasmussen Henry Rasmussen A study in rounded shapes and forms, the body of the Ferrari 375 MM spyder was the prototype for many Pinin Farina and Scaglietti body styles to follow, not to mention the designs of many car companies and design studios around the world. Ever notice how the Cobra's shape is so close to this, just to take but one example? |

| 29 | Feature | 330 America! An important model that bridged the gap between two successful production Ferraris David Edgerton Mystery car no longer, the 330 America has settled comfortably into its own quiet place in the long and steady progression of Ferrari street cars from the early 125s and 166s to the latest 512 TR. Why a mystery car, you may ask? Because for a long time in the late 1960s and through the 1970s, there was some confusion as to what the 330 America actually was. |
| 30 | Feature | Ferrari 330 America specifications and serial numbers Gerald Roush, Hilary Raab |
| 33 | Feature | The last Gentleman's Racer - the continuing saga of 512 M s/n 1018 part II - how it is today Michael Sheehan Courtesy of European Auto, Bob Dunsmore In early 1991, 512 M s/n 1018 was purchased by European Auto Sales and taken to her sister company European Auto Restoration, in Costa Mesa, California where she received a mild cosmetic restoration and vintage race preparation. After twenty years of limited use, the car required a rebuild or replacement of most of the electrical system, including the starter, the alternator, the ignition box, the battery, and the main electrical power switch, all of which had also seen one track session too many. |
