Those with the cash are prone to buying Ferraris. Those with lots of cash buy custom coachbuilt Ferraris. It’s a tradition that’s been revived in recent years with such specials as the Superamerica 45, the P540 Superfast Aperta, the Zagato 575 GTZ and of course the P4/5 Pininfarina. But decades ago, the application of custom coachwork to Ferrari chassis was the thing to do, and with Pebble Beach coming up next month, Gooding & Company has announced the consignment of some very unique examples.
Among the fifteen classic Ferraris that Gooding will be putting under the hammer in Monterey will be a Vignale-bodied ’53 Ferrari 375 America, a Touring-bodied 195 Inter from 1950 and a 410 Superamerica (1957), 400 Superamerica Aerodinamica (1963, pictured above) and 250 GT (1955) with coachwork by Pininfarina.
All five were displayed at major auto shows of their day – Turin ’53, Turin ’51, Paris ’57, Geneva ’63 and Geneva ’56, respectively – with prices expected to reach well into seven figures when the gavel drops at the Pebble next month.
