The First-Ever Built Ferrari Resurfaces
Ferrari cars are simply defined as ‘masterpieces’ or should I say, the world’s greatest? Indeed! Today, the universal appeal of this nameplate remains stronger than ever. However, if we’re going to talk about timeless charisma, all modern Ferraris are nothing without its roots. Latest models of Ferrari cars are considered as the sweetest fruits of a legendary root - the first-built Ferrari car!According to my source, Ferrari’s great grand origin is here and it is in great shape and running condition. This vehicle, complete with body kits and winch, will make its first-ever United States visit and will debut at the historic O’Donnell Golf Club in Palm Springs, California. This splendid classic car is the first-ever built Ferrari tagged with Chassis Number 01C.
"This is the first time in 20 years this pristine automobile has made a public appearance. Ferrari has a unique history in Palm Springs, by recording its first western U.S. win here in 1951, and we’re bringing that excitement back with another historic Ferrari," says Paul Merrigan, the event organizer.
Moreover, the exhibit of the first-built Ferrari will take place this coming Friday, February 29, 2008 with the Tour Classique. Car enthusiasts and guests are obliged to take a close look on this vehicle and other stunning automobiles as they cruise past the streets of Palm Springs and other Coachella Valley cities starting 11 a.m. at the O’Donnell Golf Club.
"One of just a limited few built, the 1941 Packard is a perfect match for our event, because of its association with Darrin, who crafted many of his cars for the same celebrities that brought worldwide attention to Palm Springs in the early 1940s," says Merrigan, who notched first prize in the Post-war GT Italian Coachwork class at the world-renowned Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 1998.
