4Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 and Boxer
The Lyrical Bit
No one could have had a better introduction to the 365 GT4 2+2 than I did. It took place at Ferrari's Fiorano test circuit across the road from the factory. A warm cloudy day, with Ferrari himself at the circuit, and a variety of cars to try.

Terry O. Herndon


Although it is hard to imagine a country where sophisticated machinery such as Ferraris are more cherished, pampered and enjoyed than in the U.S., it is possible that England is such a place. Perhaps it;s not that the British Ferrari owner's ardour is more intense than here, but there are so many of them in such close proximity that the enthusiasm level seems unusually high.

John Clinard


Since the beginning in 1947, Ferrari has competed in the forefront of international racing without interruption. This 30-year performance on the circuits of the world has given the Ferrari name a recognition and mystique beyond any.
28A slight different Ferrari Speciale

George Rappelyea


At the 1959 Paris Salon, Pininfarina unveiled two designs to an admiring public. One was the now classic Berlinetta Competizione on the 2400mm chassis now, and forever, known as the Short Wheelbase Berlinetta which caused a sensation. Lot in the commotion was PF's other new car, the Series II Two Seat Cabriolet, a stunning exercise of quiet elegance and refines class combine with Ferrari performance for touring in the grand style.
32Oxidation & Engine Care

Kendall Oil Company


The heat's on your car engine - more now than ever before. The higher temperatures caused by emission control devices are playing dirty tricks on your motor oil.
They are aggravating the oxidation problem. Oxidation develops when air and oil come into contact with each other at high temperatures. The oxygen combines with the oil.

Award winning paint and body specialist Leo Steed has just completed some minor cosmetic work on our 275 GTS and was leaving via the front door when an accompanying friend spotted a photo of Niki Lauda and 1 1974 312 B3 taken at the Glen. His passing comment was that the air intake looked familiar: in fact, he thought that a car in neighboring Greensboro was very similar.

A chill wind and a gray sky did not prevent the seventy-eight plus FCA members and guests from enjoying this event. Only a threat of rain was in the air: a threat which never became a reality, much to our good fortune.
