    I came across this link on Facebook today and wanted to share, as I think many of these pictures are quite interesting. Someone visited the factory in the late 80's and took lots of pictures of the assembly line, including F40's, 348's, TR's, 328's and Mondials.

    I have attached some of my favorite pictures, but the whole album is worth a look.

    Awesome. I didn't know Harold Ramis worked at the Ferrari factory, though (3rd pic from the top). :D

    Not all, as there is a black testarossa in the bottom left of the last picture I posted above :p But your observation is interesting. A lot more red cars than in other factory photos from earlier times, when the color palette was more diverse.

    Yes, I guess they didn't need the extra reassurance that they were building Ferraris. Sort of like a "leave me alone I know what I'm doing" vibe.
