 Ferrari 250 GT S1 Cabriolet

The Ferrari 250 GT S1 cabriolet, which went into production in 1957, is regarded by many as one of the most elegant cabriolets designed by Pinin Farina. The lines are fluid from the covered headlights through to the beautiful triangular tail lights, which were a feature of most of the forty cars in the series. To see one example at a Ferrari gathering is a rare occurrence, but to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the model, The Quail Concours assembled no less than sixteen examples of the model during the Monterey historic motoring extravaganza, including the unique prototype for the series, chassis # 0655GT, with its many special features including the cut away driver’s door, grill and tail treatment. As a bonus for enthusiasts of the model there was a further example, chassis # 0813GT, shown at the Pebble Beach Concours on the Sunday, so nearly half the production run could be viewed in a single weekend.
