Ferrari 375 MM at Philly Auto Show

Hey, lazy; why couldn't you just take pictures while you were there...? Wait, let me guess; you forgot your camera or didn't think to bring one...? Sigh...

 

With luck, I'll be out there pretty soon. I'll take pics, but my camera is just awful, so I don't know how they will turn out. I'll post em if I get good ones. Don't hold your breath though, my camera IS that bad.

 

Hi, Azzurro - glad to see your post. Unfortunatley, I could not attend. I understand that there are quite a few Ferraris in this general (Philadelphia) area but I've not seen many. I drive mine regularly but rarely encounter another one.

I did hear about a Lampredi engined coupe in the Quakertown area - might be the one you saw.

Where in Atlantic City are you? I'm down there almost every weekend - I have a place at the south end, just about in Ventnor.

Hi Bob,
Which coupe are you referring to? I'm fairly certain that the 375 MM on display is the PF spyder 0360AM of Len Rusiewicz, who does live in Quakertown, PA. Several photos of this car can be found here.

Hi, Augustine.
I drive a 1967 GTC.

I know Longport quite well - an old friend of mine from FCA used to live in the high-rise, just north of that great little restaurant - I can't recall the name of it.

I usually fly into Bader. Next time I do, pick me up and we'll chat Ferraris over a few beers. Give me a number and I'll call you.
OK?

By the way, I think you're right about the 375 owner living in Quakertown.

Wayne - you mentioned that is was a spider. You're probably right - someone mentioned a coupe but it could well be something else. As you may be aware, there ary many older Ferraris in this area.
I remember once at the New Hope show, someone looked at my odometer and remarked at the high mileage - 42,000. He about fell over when I told him that it had 142,000, not 42,000.

I will definitley rebuild it when it comes up to 200,000 (it now has around 160,000)

I met the car and owner in Reading. Thought somebody posted some pics on the old board. Car was stellar and the owner couldn't have been nicer. Yep, i just searched: http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/251280/250958.html

 

There are at least three 375 MMs in Pennsylvania: Len R's car (the one on display), the ex-William Holden 375 MM Spyder owned by Fred Simeone, also in the Philadelphia area, and the ex-Jim Kimberly 375 MM, the one with the cutaway fenders, located in the western part of the state.

 

By the way, here are the pics of 0360AM taken at the Philly show by Teenferrarifan and posted in this thread.

I just got back from the Auto Show - the car is GORGEOUS. Best of all, it was tucked away in a corner, so there wasn't a massive crowd by it, and I was able to take pictures. Once I get them developed/scanned, I'll post some.

BTW, the sign next to the car was wrong... it said 355MM.

 

Just got the film back and scanned/cropped/etc...

Here's a few pics...
