24Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona
It was worth the Wait

Thom Thompson

Dennis Caetta


When the chance finally presented itself for me to step aboard in a Daytona, my little collection of Ferrari's consisted of a 1956 Tour de France #0503 and a 275 GTB/4 #10527, both red and both of which I planned (and still do) to keep forever. I was perfectly satisfied with my cars and wasn't looking to spend any more money to buy another one of those red cars.
28Northwest Regional Event
August, 19, 1978

C. Winningstad


The first event of the season following the Parade Lap event at the Delta Park Portland Rose Cup Races. The group met at the Cedar Hills Shopping Center parking lot, at 9 AM for a 9:30 departure for the coast (it may come as a surprise to Easterners that Portland is about 80 miles up the Columbia River from the Pacific Ocean coast!).

A small private lane led to a wide grassy lawn bordered by waves and drifts of flowers all burt into full bloom especially for the occasion.

31Como Inn
Central States Region

Sue Ridgley


I've heard of Ferrari enthusiasts traveling many miles, over unheard-of terrain, to attend a FCA gathering, but Jim Riff's travel from South Africa to Chicago for this meet has to take the cake!
