Favourite Vintage Ferrari Promo Shot

I love those old 1950s & 60s promotional shots of Ferraris - especially of the coachbuilt and limited series cars.

It would be good to try and pull together some of the best of these from brochures / ads / press kits etc.

I know there are some on the web - of variable quality - but this is my personal favourite. I think this was a Pininfarina shot rather than Ferrari, and came out of the final instalment of the 1960s 'Style Auto' Ferrari trilogy (an original copy of #8, rather than the more recent compilation reprint).

Wonderful picture, and so typical of the period.

Anyone have any others...? John

This one of the 250GT 2+2 is quite elegant. From Automobile Year #8, 1960-61.

She's an architect, see? Yeah, that's the ticket! And she's in charge! And she just drove out to the building site in her Ferrari 400 Superfast III to give a few orders, yeah, that's the image we're looking for! (From Automobile Year #10, 1962-63)

How about this one.

A moment later, "Fifi" is gone and Madame has jumped onto the fence. "Hey Mister, your karma ran over my dogma"!! And everything has taken on a yellow hue.

Every time I see that I wonder if my old GTE is one of the cars in that picture.

How about this picture from a contemporary fashion article in Vanity Fair ... a 330GTS spread across two pages!
