This past Sunday, Ferrari took over Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills to put on the mother of all car shows. This was to celebrate their 60 years of selling to rich American blokes. So they brought 60 excellent examples, many of them straight from the factory museum in Maranello. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking:
The actual white Testarossa from "Miami Vice."
And no Ferrari event would be complete without a pop-up Ferrari store:
Where else can you buy an officially licensed Ferrari teddy bear?
BONUS: just a tiny sample of the eye candy that littered the neighboring streets for miles:

250 LM... car deserves more recognition than it gets. There were less produced than the infamous GTO, it was the last Ferrari (let alone homolgation special) to win Le Mans, it was Ferrari's first real mid-engine super car, and those curves... stunning.
Also P3/4.... Mmmmmmmm

I totally agree! I love the curves. Great silhouette. sexy while still being muscular (I love that combo - it's what I find appealing of my C3 'Vette. Your screen name suggests you're a Vette guy too?)
(Though, not sure how "unrecognized" it is, considering they've apparently been selling between $10 - $15 million a piece.)

I'm also a Vette guy (don't own... always dreamed of it).
As for the 250 LM, I know they still catch a big price tag on the auction blocks, but they still don't get the love the inferior 250 GTOs get. It's weird how the 250 GTO became the Ferrari holy grail. Even though it wasn't a winner, I think the 275 GTB is underrated as well. I just love 60s Ferraris in general. I miss the Pininfarina days.
As a show of my love of both lines, I even love the Corvette Scaglietti builds. I really wish those had taken off. Imagine Carol Shelby taking Corvette V8s and slapping them in sleek Italian bodies for the next 20 years. Imagine a Shelby Corvette GT. It'd be a different world.
