David Letterman's Ferrari

He has had his 212 Ghia (s/n 0185) for *many* years. It was discussed in Oct 2000 issue of Forza. Barchetta.cc says he bought it 1994 so indeed over 30 years.

Personally I found the 212 Ghia's proportions and deeply sunk wheels to look a bit cartoony.

Each his own. I am sure with a wheel base that short that it has a very playful and demeaner.

Edit: Looks like he was trying to sell it at auction recently: https://www.mecum.com/lots/1131377/1951-ferrari-212-inter-22-berlina/

The original post link is also a bit click-baity...these still fall victim to the 2+2 curse...

 

This car or a similar 212 was also on display at Kissimmee 2024.

Omar is right about its goofy proportion and wheel wells. It looks like a nameless period car, which hasn't exactly aged like other Ferrari models. Interior was just as plain too.

If it wasn't a Ferrari, I couldn't see this car being worth much premium.

I didn't even bother getting a good picture of it, but you can see it on the right side of this photo

Good eye! Pretty sure that was his car actually.

 

Looks like a restomod Austin. I can not feel the love...

 

He had one he used to show at the Greenwich Councours but I don’t remember if it was the 212.
