    That nocciola Daytona Spider is the one formerly owned by Ed Wettach of Ferrari South in Jackson/MS and then sold to that former airline pilot in South FL, cannot remember name or number right now. It was shown approx 10 years ago at the Wellington Concours.

    I researched the Florida license plates from a historical perspective and only found a 1988.5 328 GTS, red/tan, with Florida plates "QDX 47Y": #78511 currently or previously owned by F Chat member 328stuts.

    If that's the one in the garage pics then I do remember it having red carpets.

    I think 78511 currently has tan carpets.

    I could be mistaken, but I think the red convex wheel 328 GTS in the service dept (next to the 348 & Mondial) had red carpets, but it's been a long time.

    I just looked again and it may be two different 328's. If you look at the pictures on the first page, the the 328 that's parked inside the garage but not in a particular service bay is the one that has red carpets. You can see them in the interior shot. The other one with the tab carpets looks like it's in a service bay and not in the middle of the shop.

    I know the Shelton brothers did a LOT of racing over the years. They had a hell of a trophy display. No idea what kind of racer that was though.

    It looks like a black 365 GTC/4 parked next to it. Not sure if that is the same one that was in the other photo or not.

    Turns out this is 348 GTC s/n 96064, as raced by Didier Theys/Steve Shelton/Art Coia/Tom Shelton at the 1994 Daytona 24 Hours.

    Took a closer look and this is 330 P3 0844.

    Also, 1981 Alfa Romeo 179/C Formula 1 chassis #006 can be seen in these two photos:

    Thanks! I really hope that I can find more. We're in the middle of a move but I have a whole bin full of old pics. I'll check through them all when we get settled.

    Just found this thread, what a great set of photos! Thanks for posting them all up.
    Brings me back to the '80s when I first fell in love with Ferraris.

    Interesting how the pix highlight the fact the obsession with shields on road cars is clearly a modern Ferrari-thing. The only cars with shields in those photos (with a couple exceptions) were the F40 and 288GTO.
