The first time I saw a Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso was at Riverside Raceway where I was attending the Times Grand Prix. The Mecom team–which earlier had campaigned a GTO I would later acquire–was there with a one-off special named the Hussein for A.J. Foyt to drive. At one point, I noticed an interesting shape in the pits and used my binoculars to get a better look. It was a Ferrari Lusso and it was gorgeous. As it turned out, the car belonged to the actress Jill St. John who I would later encounter on the 405 freeway towing a cabin cruiser on a trailer with her Lusso.
