Ferrari magazine in Seinfeld episode

I never was really much of a Seinfeld fan although I do remember channel surfing during one episode and there was a scene where a F355 Spider was parked alongside the road as Kramer and Jerry walked by. Not sure if a clip exists but perhaps someone could shed some light and confirm.

 

Wow I am very impressed on that pick up. What year is that magazine?

 

From November 1991.

Makes sense, the episode first aired on 1/29/92.

 

Spider was in the "Desperado" episode. Not sure if that is what it was called but it was
based on the song.

 

With Jerry being a really big time Porsche guy you will see a lot of their material in the backround for many episodes. There is a big Porsche Model Meet every year in March at the LAX Hilton and he always shows and is really just one of the guys. I have attended for many years and he is usually in attendance.

 

Episode is called "The Checks"

One of my favorites.

The 355 was owned by Elaine's boyfriend, who worked for a furniture designer called Karl Farbman. I'm sure Seinfeld was making a little fun at Ferrari guys with this subtle placement, because the boyfriend is a real stuck up jerk. Sort of what many people stereotype Ferrari owners as.

Here's a clip:

There are many car references in Seinfeld. Usually they are Porsches, for obvious reasons, but once in a while you see something different like the 355 or George's dad's Pontiac GTO.

 

Check out the tag line on the lower part of the cover, "10 Ferraris YOU Can Afford". I wonder if the Dino is on on the list.

Great find! I have the magazine too but never noticed it in Seinfeld!

 

I always liked the Skip Barber magnet on his fridge too.
