    After leaving Pebble Beach, Wayne and i headed back to his truck. One bus and one trolley, later, we were there. Before we could drive two minutes up the road though, we saw a beautiful, black 250 GT/L... We HAD to stop and take pictures. Here are mine...

    Spectacular. Thanks for the pics. The Lusso has always been at the top of my list.

    Allow me to toss in a few of my own. By the way, can anyone provide the s/n on this car?

    Great pics! I saw that car there, too, when I came back on the Pebble bus. Sure wish I had sold my 360 two years ago and picked up a Lusso. The window has long since closed...

    Great pics of a gorgeous car.

    As an aside, my sister in law was married last October down on the sand visible in the picture that has the stop sign.

    I missed the Vintage races in Coronado to be in Carmel :(

    Thanks, we were standing in the bed of my pickup. Carbon has almost the exact same shot, except I was holding the camera over my head:

    Is it any wonder that the Lusso is considered one of the most beautiful Ferraris? And you both have captured that beauty with some fantastic photos, compostions and angles.

    How did you guys get those overhead shots? Don't tell me that you were carrying a stepladder? Or maybe you stood on each other's shoulders?

    Oops! Answered in the interim while I was typing!


    Great photos!

    All this time I thought you were really, really, really, really tall.

    Nice shots - then again, how can they not be?

    Odd thing is that, looking through all of my Monterey photos, looks like I only took one Lusso shot at the Concorso:

    Damn those are beautiful cars.

    My wife's all time favorite.

    I'm still trying to convince here that a 330 is it's first cousin, and would look great in the garage next to the Dino.

    Great pictures-we need a vintage thread calendar! I'd like that Lusso for march as a reminder to the Mrs that ferraris always make the best presents.

    The restored interior looks flawless!! Like the color, too. I kicked myself for not getting a restored one a few years back when it was listed around $140K-$150K. Besides the Dino, Lusso have one of the best lines in any GT cars.

    Dick Merritt used to leave his Lusso outside all the time in MD. It was scruffy then, a driver, but still gorgeous. I was picking up 0742, so I didn't pay mind to the sn, do you have it, Wayne? Wonder where it is today?

    At one time or another, Dick owned 4971GT, 5543GT and at least one other Lusso.
