    Has anyone a picture of the 340 America with a Fontana coupe-body ? specialy made for a count in the early 50's ...
    I think it had chassisnr 0030MT ,(nowadays it has a scaglietti barchetta body and is called 275/340 S)..

    However, i am looking for a picture of the car with the Fontana Coupe-body
    It looked just like a 212 Fontana spyder with a roof attached... (the same airducts and shapes)

    ( i know mister massini has published some in his masterpiece 'making a difference', but it's hard to find..)

    Please help me to complete my photo-collection off all ferrari's produced ever... (or at least a little completer)

    I have the book(s) but I would not dare make a copy of one of Marcel's photos. I tried to find a web-based source when you posted this in the Old Photos thread but was unable. Sorry.

    I have tried to contact Mister Massini but to this moment .....no reply...
    In my request i even offered him copyrights to the pictures through a watermark or so.

    I have no publication-purposes for this pictures., its just to complete my photo-archive of ferrari a little bit more.

    I don't have Photoshop but yes, I'm sure you can have the same result with this program.

    He's "in" and "out" here, be patient.

    He HAS been burned with photo piracy so he doesn't throw them up like he used to...sadly..
