    Very hot, but always nice to go. Spent an hour there and just took a few pics.

    LOL...!

    Sam, during what hour were you there...? I was there from 10 in the morning through one in the afternoon. And why didn't you take any pictures of the Fitch Phoenix...?!?

    Because there was only one Fiat.


    There from 12:30-1:30. Sorry I missed you.

    Fitch Phoenix? The brother of River Phoenix?

    Look again. Not photo 8? I could be wrong, that car is far out of my league.

    Okay, here is the Fitch Phoenix and a picture of 91 year old John Fitch giving a radio interview. Unfortunately he is still being bogged down by the Connecticut DEP's heavy handedness on the leaking oil tank on his home up in Salisbury. The estimated costs to remediate are over $300,000 and the state is doing nothing to help him. A fund has been established to help him.

    The car in your eighth photo is a 250 GT PF Cabriolet (Series II, from the looks of it). The easiest way (for me) to tell the difference between a PF Cab and a Spyder California is to look at the side (if you can). If it's got a Pininfarina badge, then it's a PF Cab - because Scaglietti bodied the Spyder Californias. Oddly enough, the PF Cab isn't listed in the Greenwich Concours program and I don't know why.

    Cool - but I'm sorry to learn of his DE(E)P trouble.

    My head is still turned upside down from all the amazing cars, but I'm quite sure picture #8 is a Superamerica.

    There were 2 Californias, IIRC. The unrestored red one, and the yellow one, ex-Chinetti with the three seat setup.

    Hi NNO,

    Actually, while it looks very similar to a SII PF Cab, the car in photo number eight is a 400 Superamerica Cabriolet.

    I stand corrected, and thank you. That would explain the chrome hood scoop lining. They only made 10 400 SA PF Cabs, right...? Do you know the serial number of this one...?


    Sorry, Sam...! I was wrong...!

    Its for sale at Motor Classic in White Plains (Nick Soprano). Contact Nick (he's the guy in the purple polo shirt in the first photo, which has the Cali spyder in the foreground) since his website doesn't show the s/n. It is one of only 6 400SA spyders made according the site.

    There's some interesting info in Wikipedia about the Fitch car
    So he found a use for a Corvair besides as a smoke screen generator.
    (j/k...I grew up with a 65,66 & 69 corvair. Dad loved them just before he found VW variants & microbusses)

    Horrible weather, and my camera was set on "doofus" (forced 800 "ISO")...

    There were three distinct yellow shades visible in the Ferrari ring.

    The 246 GT looked oxidized from a distance, so grey and brown was that shade.

    The 275 GTB longnose (with /4 hood) I would guess as Giallo Fly.

    And the 330 GTS (with red leather) was a yellow so deep and rich it reminded me of the blood red of the pre-Marlboro '95 412-T2 F1 cars.

    Anyone know what it was I was looking at?
