While gathering for our family Thanksgiving this year, I showed a photo of an average American muscle car to my older daughter. “That’s nice Dad, but what is THAT?” she proclaimed pointing to the headlight and front fender of a Ferrari 275 GTB/4 peeking out in the distance. “That’s a Ferrari 275 GTB” She smiled, nodded, and offered “That’s the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen”. And while her proclamation might have been dismissed by a lack of familiarity with vintage cars, she’s been to enough concours events to have seen a significant number of important cars. “It’s perfect. It’s not trying hard to be seen. It’s elegantly satisfied and perfectly balanced – like those movie starsfilmed in black and white.” I had to agree.

Ferrari collectors and sports car enthusiasts alike would find little argument with the statement that the 275 GTB/4 remains today one of the best looking sportscars ever produced.
