Enjoyed the article. Was the reference to "Ferrari flare" a double entendre?

I got the production numbers from Gerald, he had to assist me with that information as I was having difficulty locating the exact numbers. Thank you again for your kind words! Just wait until you guys see the next several articles you will love them!

Mitchel, great article, enjoyed it greatly. One question, what sources did you use for the production numbers?

Look at this one on eBay:

I think you can really see the window seal problem on the second picture down.

HI! Ya know, I did not mention the window problems with the cars. I simply forgot to add that in. Hopefully by now, most of the cars for sale will have had that procedure done.

That was my first article! I find it easy to write about something that I have loved since I could remember. Thank you all for your kind words! Gerald has an amazing publication. This is my way of telling the world about the most amazing cars ever made.

It was overall a great article. I was surprised however that in the last paragraph, when talking about the PPI and making sure the history is documented that no mention was made of the issue with the window seals. Given the very high cost of that effort anyone looking at a 456 should insure that it has been done and documented. Otherwise, a good overview of a great car.

Mitchel well done, it is good to see some articles about the 2+2 cars, I have to agree with you they are breathless.

Congrats
