    When I was a young lad my father had been financially able to buy /trade many used Ferraris with Luigi Chinetti up in Greenwich , Ct.
    I would ride with my dad from Long Island to Mr Chinettis many times over the years.
    When I finally got my license dad brought home an ASA from Mr Chinettis for me. Told me it’s was a baby Ferrari . I finally went off to school and the car was sold.
    Does anyone remember driving these ? Do any still survive .?
    I think I have a photo in the basement somewhere of mine with a surfboard on the roof

    The ASA was an amazing car. The chassis was an exact scaled down version of the 250 GTO. Unfortunately, it was some what underpowered. I restored my ASA years ago, and showed it at Pebble Beach Concours. It was also the only car with 13" Borrani wire wheels! It now resides in a museum in Japan.

    There is one ASA spyder in AZ (possibly the only one). Fun little car and great for the smaller cities with hills.
    *the open highways and heat in AZ are not enjoyable during the summer.
