    I always thought that the Arciero Ferrari 375 was one car, a Scaglietti Spyder chassis #478, but re-reading a thread on Tony Parravano and some other sites it appears that the Arcieros also bought 0362, a Pinin Farina Spyder from Parravano at the same time. But when looking online into their competition histories, there seems to be some conflicting info on which car competed in which event during the 1957-1960 period. Can anyone clarify who drove which car at what event during that time frame? Any help would be welcome.

    I strongly suggest the book:

    American Sports Car Racing in the 1950s (Hardcover)
    by Michael T. Lynch, William Edgar, Ron Parravano

    Jarrett- Thanks for the suggestion, but I've checked the book online at Amazon and it basically covers up until the beginnings of the "professional" racing movement, and I found very few specific references by chassis numbers to either car during or after 1958. Most of the Arciero mentions that I could find did not tell which of the cars was involved at a certain event.

    From memory, there is a table in the back of the book which lists many if not all of the races that the Parravano cars competed in, all with s/n. I'm at school right now and the book is at home so I can't verify how far the races go, but it is very detailed and very accurate for the most part as I recall. According to my records, all of Gurney's races were in 0478AM, with the exception of the Times GP and another race at Riverside in 1958, which were in 0362AM.
