“Casa Ferrari” Open House At Pebble Beach
$FCAU, $RDS-A
Whether it is with record-breaking car auction sales, vintage racers, or Ferrari badges and gear at every turn, Ferrari attracts a great deal of attention during Monterey Car Week, which is capped by the Pebble Beach Concours d’Élégance.
This week, there will be more about the Fiat Chrysler Automobile (NYSE:FCAU) unit, aka Enzo’s company, as Ferrari is the featured marque at the 65th Anni Concours on the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Ferrari’s has taken over a small country store and gas station to display some of its legendary cars, as well a lineup of new vehicles, at what it is calling Casa Ferrari Carmel.
The headliner from among the 5 cars that will each take Star turns at Casa Ferrari surely is the 250LM that Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt drove to an overall victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1965. This is the last time Ferrari won the top class, the following year that Ford and its GT40 went on a 4-in-a-row winning streak.
The other featured are a 1954 500 Mondial Spyder formerly owned by epic playboy and rumored assassin Porfirio Rubirosa, one of just 4 1954 250 Monzas, the 1955 410 S that won its class at Pebble Beach in Y 2012 (see below), and the 275GTB Competizione that finished 3rd overall at Le Mans in ’65.
All of the cars have been certified by Ferrari Classiche
Casa Ferrari is open to the public from 9:00a. to 6:00p Wednesday through Sunday.
The car-display schedule for the Piazza is:
• Wednesday — 500 Mondial Spyder
• Thursday — 250 Monza
• Friday — 250LM
• Saturday — 275GTB Competizione
• Sunday — 410 S (shown above)
Admission is free, and Ferrari merchandise is available for purchase, as well as Espresso, Gelato, and Asti Spumanti. A full-service retro Shell (NYSE:RDS-A) service station has been recreated on-site.
Casa Ferrari is located at the Carmel Highlands General Store, less than 10 miles south of the Monterey Peninsula and immediately south of Point Lobos on Highway 1 in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
Have a terrific time.
