    Congratulations to fellow F-Chatter Manny Del Arroz and his one-off 375 Mille Miglia for winning 1st place in the Speciale class at Pebble Beach as well as landing the Luigi Chinetti Award for Outstanding Ferrari Road Car at the FCA Concours. Even Sergio Pininfarina was impressed!

    Nice! Is that Chuck Jordan (right of picture) to the left of Sergio Pininfarina?

    Boudewijn, thank you. The three images of the car in the sun at Pebble (including that awsome last shot) were taken by Manny. It was thrilling to see this car in the metal for the first time, and especially now that it has been restored to its orginal colors. Thanks, Manny.

    A friend who was on the 275 tour reminded me about a green 275 that I believe Manny owns. I have not seen this car in person, and pictures are scarce...outside filler, very very nice car.

    Wonderful win, Mr. Del Arroz, truly subtle and meticulous restoration. The picture of the pillar/runninglamp/louvered window is superb.

    Thanks Wayne for the congratulations! All the Ferrari cars at Pebble and the Fca were over the top.
    The 375 MM Sport 0490 was on the Ferrari stand at the 1955 Turin show in colors that are now on the car. I have attached a picture of 0355AL that was at the same show in 1955 on the Pininfarina stand.

    They were posted a year ago and we've since lost them in the big crash.

    You'd think Rob would give Speedy308 his 5MB back, as they were all destroyed, eh?

    I guess there's no warranty, on the older pics...........;)

    Marcel, I like the sculpture on the Cavallino cover. Good job positioning the car!

    Good luck @ PB. Anxious to see finished product.
    0490AM is still truly breathtaking. Beautifully conceived when new, sensitively restored now. Molto Bene.
