    The 11th Annual Ferrari Club of America national meeting took place 30th May-1st June 1973 at the Grosse Point Yacht Club in Michigan. Among the cars displayed were at least five 250 GT Lussos:

    1) #4537 of Jim Riff, Chicago/IL
    2) #4863 of Art Miller, Jackson/MI, painted silver gray
    3) #4971 of Frank Entwistle, Fort Wayne/IN
    4) #5859 of Marty Siedentop, Denver/CO, painted silver gray
    5) #unknown, red, with Michigan license plates

    Here's a photo of the unknown red Lusso, taken by David Seielstad. Can anybody identify this red Lusso photographed in 1973?

    Here's a photo of a red 250 GT Lusso, photographed May 1974 during the Bugatti-Ferrari Owners Club Switzerland meeting on the Bürgenstock near Lucerne, Switzerland. Plates are French from the Mulhouse region (68 = Departement Le Haut-Rhin). Does anybody know this Lusso?

    in 1980, I bought # 5637 (ex Antoine Prunet, Charles Gnaedinger, Brand). The actual colour is black with red leather interior.

    Do you know the original color?

    Many thanks

    Yes I used to own 5637. Please send me a PM for details.

    By the way the car shown on post #4 is not 5637 but the late Alain Spitz's 5377.

    I'm curious as to where 5485 has ended up. Last time I saw it was in 1970 when it was auctioned by Richard Bourne and Co.

    I do not know the chassis number but do know the owner. But tell me, do you have a picture of the right side? Thanks.
