Hi, Thank you. That is the Ferrari club central states literature/art/collectibles show. It has been going on for over 40 years in or near Chicago and started at the Como Inn in downtown Chicago(central US city on the Great Lakes ). I do not run it, just help out. Next year we hope to have some rare design artwork on display.
Tom, I love expos more interesting than a show event. It s full of details like the drawings and historical documents. Sometimes exhibitions are vast, considering the space allocating for such a wonderful and inspiring collections. Wish you a good luck for next year.
#1032 512S born in 1970, short life for this car. (Built, re built, rere built... it s ART). Wonderful on track. Here in 1970 Daytona race, Corrado Manfredini and Gianpiero Moretti. Team Squadra Picchio-Rosso. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The Volvo was going to overtake them all in a second PS interesting to see how the front of the 512S evolved rapidly over time. The fog lamps , here covered, were apparently specially made by Carello in a unique size to fit on the front lid opening . We are trying to recreate them, has anyone any idea?

Is 0514M the Ken Wharton car that came to New Zealand and was in the Southward collection for many years?

All correct, the car is still there, it certainly when I last visited a year ago..... I live 5 minutes drive from the Southward Museum, in fact I got married there 25 years ago but aside from that Its a great museum and worth a visit if anyone is ever in this part of New Zealand..... https://www.southwardcarmuseum.co.nz/ You can (just) see the centre section of the 750 Monza between the Mercedes-Benz SS and Alfa 6C1750 if you click the link.
John Fitch, Ferrari 375MM, 24 H du Mans, 13 Juin 1954. I always love all types of barchetta but this one is special one! Image Unavailable, Please Login

In that paint scheme with John Fitch at the wheel the car almost begins to resemble a Cunningham C4R. John and me at the Saratoga Auto Museum couple of years before he passed
