    Very nice!

    Thanks for sharing.

    I imagine someone knows which chassis that is and what races it won?

    What is the Ferrari behind the GTO in the second picture? It sort of looks like 2643? Thanks

    Wow. I don't think it was but I'd be hard pressed to say what else it might be. Even at a young age, shame on me for not getting a better shot. Think I have the program from that show somewhere so I'll see if there's any reference.

    According to the program it appears to be a 500 Superfast.

    Thanks for checking! Always great to see old pictures here, even a partial of the Superfast.

    The car in the foreground on the left looks to be a Lusso. The one on the right looks like a Pf coupe but that wouldn't make much sense in 65.

    Interesting. Are you sure it was taken in 65? If the car was painted white in 63.....

    It doesn't look like a 500 Superfast, more like one of the earlier Pininfarina speciales.
    I can't see Ferrari showing these older cars at a 1965 show, and wonder if '64 would be more likely.

    In the second photo the far car looks like a 400 SA to me. In the first photo looks like a pair of 250 GTEs in the background.

    It absolutely was the 9th International Automobile Show, April 3-11, 1965 at the New York Coliseum. Stand 1, second floor, Chinetti's. I agree on the Lusso, but the only cars listed in the program were a 275/GTB, a 275/GTS, and the 500 Superfast.
