Exactly.

The Ferris Bueller car was actually an MGB with a body kit.

Gosh...

I never really noticed it before, but the error will be inescapably obvious from now on: the crest on Cameron's Red Wings jerseys is very, very crooked.


Then again it's one big production error in and of itself: who wears a Red Wings jersey in Chicago? That's nuts.

Its a Gordie Howe Jersey. It can be worn anywhere.

Another thing I noticed: Gordie Howe never wore a Red Wings jersey with his name on the back. He retired (from the Red Wings) before then.

Yep, and to this day, his number hangs In Joe Louis without his name above it. But, a lot of the Gordie Howe Jerseys sold DID have his name on it, so its realistic in that aspect.

Nah, see I know that's a lie: his number hangs in the Joe with his name above it. Just like Sid Abel, Ted Lindsay and Terry Sawchuk. (I think they might have started putting names on the back just as Alex Delvecchio was retiring.)


I will grant you that a large number of jerseys sold probably had his name added on. Given the crooked crest on the front I doubt they were striving for historical accuracy.

You sure about that? I'll have to check.

I knew that, and they said it kept breaking down, too.

308 GT/4. Fuck Pininfarina.

If it counts as a Ferrari:

100% with you there.  Best looking car of all time.  

If that doesn't count, then the 355GTS:

F-40

But the 355 is right behind it. And it looks so much better too.

Oh, yes, 

I'm a bit partial to the 308/328/348 GTS and GTB - I've just always loved that series.

Then the 365GTB and the 360 Modena.

250 Lusso:

I saw a California on the street. It looked like what that old SC430 was supposed to be. Take that how you wish.

Oh, and the Ferris Beuller replica was not built form an MGB. It had MGB-like taillights, but the central portion was Fiat 124 door frames and windsheild. But it was built on a custom tube chassis with Ford 302 power (built by a company then called Modena Designs)

I actually liked the SC430, I never thought it was all that bad looking. It also did a great job serving its purpose, that thing had a fantastic interior and was quite comfortable. I'm not sensitive to ride quality, which was one of the SC430's chief complaints (aside from the styling), so it never bothered me (and yes, I've ridden in a few).

I like the 400 series. It could have passed a sporty coupe version of the Dodge Diplomat!

Ferraris are not supposed to pass as sporty coupe versions of a Dodge Diplomat.

I know. I am one of the few people who like the styling of the Dodge Diplomat (and its Plymouth/Chrysler versions). 

There's a blue Ferrari 412 Coupe that is owned by a lady here in Munich. I've seen it and photographed it on the road a few times and it's a really nice car in terms of styling. It has that clear Pininfarina design signature on it and sort off reminds me of a "similar-looking" car also designed by Pininfarina:

The Fiat 130 Coupe

Both of your choices are my #1 and #2's respectively. I love the Dino.

The Testerossas with a drivers side mirror only.

The American Ferrari.

Ferrari 410 Superamerica




Looks like a Buick concept car from the '50s, eh?  


FACT CHECK: 97/100 Carspinners had no idea this car existed. 

Quote from: the Teuton on August 23, 2011, 10:27:57 PM
Honestly, a prettier car than the Jag E-Type...

Bullshit.   

Enzo Ferrari himself said the E-type was the best looking car he'd ever seen.

250 GTE


Almost bought one once.  Sold before I got there, probably a good thing to have happen to me actually.  I would have gone broke maintaining it.

I can admit that the convertibles can be quite pretty



The coupes, I dunno...if it were a grand touring car built in the 1980's by any other carmaker, it would be considered a handsome car, but being a Ferrari, it's kind of like the average-looking sister in a family of supermodels.

Not sure I could narrow it down to one.  Love the 250GTO.  Love the 308/328/288GTO line (but not the Bertone-designed 308GT/4).  Love the 246 Dino.  Love the 365GTC/4 (IMO, better looking than the 365 Daytona).  The 250 Lussos are also very pretty.  As far as more recent Ferraris go, I'm quite fond of the 599 (the 550/575 never did much for me, aesthetically) and the F430.

I love the 360 Modena and the 430.
