You guys have it all wrong. The entire diorama shows what is left of the person's house after he/she sold everything to afford the Ferrari. Nothing left except 2 tables and a parking space! Are you sure that "girl" isn't the girl from the Matrix? Maybe the whole scenario exists only in the customer's mind? If so, the the high dollar cost of routine service is only imaginary. | ||

Remember the guy with the 360 in his living room? Wait until he sees this kitchen! | ||

Clarification: the "man in the background" is actually a woman taken from a Louis Vuitton ad. I tell people she's lifting brochures from the display. The one addition that didn't make it into the model was a large chrome cavalino on the outside of the mesh wall. I couldn't find a horse by the due date and I didn't want to take a crowbar to the back of a 456/ 550. | ||

I see a man in the background with a "bag". I wonder if it is full of money or tools? | ||

I think it's cool as hell. I would have put the Ferrari name in there somewhere, kind of like the yellow sign that all the dealerships have on the fronts that says Ferrari in the company style with the long top of the F. Matt hit it with the oil puddle, I wonder sometimes when I go into the dealerships how they keep the floors so clean. | ||

Barry you've just become my new marketing manager. I actually tried to promote the theme to be used at the NAIAS, but nothing came of it. Though one of the ideas that I ended up scraping was actually used in the Ferrari display last year. | ||

That's a nice display, Kevin. It's time for dealerships in general to enter this millennium. They could profit by your display's design. Barry | ||

That looks great Kevin! As for mistaking the 550B for a Corvette... it resembles the new Viper roadster more than a Vette... Can't they see the prancing pony?! | ||

Bill, I'm in interior architecture at Eastern Michigan. Regarding the oil puddle... Cauley neglected to mention that detail to me  | ||

I like it a lot. You forgot the big oil puddle under the car though, but a good start. | ||

I recently designed an automotive display for the 550B as a school project. I went to Cauley Ferrari for some dealer input on the design. They were exceptionally helpful and highly enthusiastic about the whole idea, and they were a great help. The problem though is that half of my class originally thought my 550B model was a Corvette. You can imagine how much help they were in understanding and critiquing my project. I'm interested to know what owners and Ferrari enthusiasts think of it. Don't feel you need to comment on the build-quality. I'm not very good at building models. Thanks!    |
