    Yes it's a 1956 A6G/54 Series III Frua coupe. It won it's class at Pebble Beach in 2014. I think it's my favorite from his collection after the green 250 GTL Lusso(best looking color on a Lusso I have ever seen).

    I am going to be with my family in Chicago this weekend and I would love to see a 488 GTB in person. I have checked with both, Lake Forest and Continental to see if they have any that might be there waiting for prep or customer pick up but there are none. Sure there might be one that pops up between now and Thursday but the chances are slim. I want to trade my Scuderia for a 488 but I sure would like to see one before I bite the bullet. If any 488 GTB owners in Chicago have a car on display or know where I can view one please let me know.

    Yes he tried to slide it coming out... But failed, and then he fish tailed and didn't let off the gas.

    It was already a bad idea because unlike at the LFSC Concours where it's not a super overcrowded road, Ogden Ave is a lot of cars.
