    The cover credit for the December 1956 issue of Road & Track reads:

    "The closest photographer Carlyle Blackwell could come to a red sleigh for St Nick is this 3.5 litre Ferrari. The scene is a quiet village at Christmas Eve (on the 20th Century Fox's back lot), but if the kiddies are still awake, it's not the sound of sleigh bells they'll be hearing as midnight strikes."

    I can't identify the driver, his menacing look suggests that he might be one of Parravano's henchmen.

    Does anyone have images of 0538M racing in the USA? Was the nose different?

    I would say the pilot at wheel is Caroll Shelby...

    The nose has always been the same starting in 1955.
