Definately not a car you'd want to have the top up. Sweet as hell with it down, though.

that antique job is sweet. Yes it is exactly what you posted, the 550, they have a lot of "variants" I assume are 550's and 575's........

they have a red one too, like the pic you posted. I will try and get a pic of the shop, they are opening up when I zip by in the morning and usually have some 355's and porsche's sitting in the side lot. Never an ugly car there. Except for that Shelby thing......

they do have some screwed up lines, but IMO Ferrari has always had *some* great lines crossing some screwed up lines, like they had a great idea for the front, and the back was an afterthough. I kinda think this about the 550 and 575. I think the modena is the most "completed" looking car. And the 288 GTO was very sweet, the widened fenders really completed the 288 look.....
