More Old Photos

So then I think this is 9743, Meadow Brook 1989 as well.

 

Your effort deserves some kind of award.
Thank you Sir!

 

Graypaul days, undoubtedly- as Marcel mentioned, David Clarke and 0856.

 

I think he makes a cameo in several of those photos in white shirt and pants.

Thanks for these. Do you recall where and when?

No. The yellow alloy fourcam was not taken at Meadow Brook but at the 18th Annual FCA Nationals 4-7 June 1981 at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC.
It is 10269 of Herbert F. Kerr who won the Phil Hill Best of Show Award.
Owned today by Phil Bachman in TN.

Thanks for clarification. PM sent.

 

The photos of the prototype Berlinetta Boxer were taken on the front lawn of Art Center College of Design on 3rd St in LA. The car had been shown at the LA Auto Expo, and they brought the car to school so the design students could see the car. 1973! It had burlap like fabric for the interior trim.

I went to the meet at the Biltmore. Saw cars I couldn't have seen in Michigan.

 

Which ones?

 

Dave: Yes, it is Sue and me at the Italian Happening at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI. Also in post 10566, photo #7 is our 410SA #1387.

 

Jim was this 'MANFRED WHO? in post #10593 poking a little fun at Manfred Lampe who had a Ferrari 512 004?
There was a 512 Ferrari and a CanAm Ferrari run at Mosport in I believe 1982 and those cars were so loud you could hear them all around the track! Back then noise was good...

Yes that's Manfred Lampe's car. He was a designer at FoMoCo

 

This is #1036 which really is #1034.
The ex Herbert Muller Can-Am Spider.

Definitely recognize the OCC buildings....so many great old Ferraris made their way through Detroit in the old days.
Thanks for posting.

 

I was lucky to be here during that time period.
The car companies design staffs had a multitude of Ferrari fanatics.........even some in the engineering ranks!

 

For sure!

 

Bill Victor was a terrific guy, it was a great privilege to know him.

 

Norman Silver from High Point NC was also a very interesting fellow. He owned a number of Ferrari models. He also happened to own Gerald Roush's favourite Ferrari a 1957 Superfast 0719SA ...

Norman Silver's collection is featured in “Prancing Horse” magazine, issue# 40, and in “Forza magazine” issue #60 of April 2005.

Thank you for those precise details Marcel! As I recall his garage looked very unassuming from the outside. Certainly a very nice gentleman.

Ah yes; the old Art Center on 3rd Street. Strother MacMinn, instructor, used to have me bring interesting cars for the students to view at lunch time. Here are some he took of 1777GT.

Man, that car is seriously pretty. I know the windshield would rpobably take your eye out in a minor fender bender but on the plus side you'd have had the opportunity to see this car in the flesh, so why would you even need an eye after that anyway...
