Does anyone have or know the whereabouts of an image of the 1952 Targa Florio poster or program? Help would be much appreciated.
Thank you for the link, but the thread primarily concerns the late years of Chinetti Motors and my interest is in the mid-fifties.
Wonderful and thanks...but sorry I couldn't find your original post when I searched "Chinetti Motors."
Thank you. I was thinking it was much earlier, perhaps 1957.

It's the earliest serial number listed there for a Scaglietti 500 Mondial. Not my work.
Ferrari I Quattro Cilindri has the Mondial as 0454MD.
François Picard brought the first 500 Mondial, but when de Oliveira crashed his 375 MM, Picard gave up his car to Ascari and became a spectator.
The '53 Carrera Panamericana race program is now at auction on Automobilia Landenburg, item #1445.[ATTACH]
I have found barchetta.cc to be very cooperative when I have pointed out corrections that should be made. I suspect updates and such would happen...
Thanks. Any idea what his screen name is?
Does anyone know the original source of this photo? I'm looking for an early photo of the Chinetti Motors, NY, building--hopefully 300+ dpi....
A late note about Pescara—If it interests anyone, the family of Federico Valeriani has placed his Coppa Acerbo photo archive with Giorgio Nada...
