If it wasn’t enough to have the typical affliction of sensory overload after Pebble Beach whereby the exotic or rare multi-million dollar cars become typical, this year we extended it a few days for the 2015 Ferrari Club of America Annual Meet and Mercato di Ferrari at the Hyatt Regency Monterey. Four days of all Ferrari, every day, old, new and spectacular. Here are some of our best and favorites in the rare Ferrari category.
Best Once In A Lifetime View
Best Style and Best Vintage Ferrari
It is a rare opportunity to see an important car, but this one stood out in a class of Superfasts. This 1960 Ferrari 400 Superamerica prototype Superfast II debuted at the Turin Auto Show in 1960 and is still catwalk worthy. Styled by Pinin Farina but important to note the 400 Superamerica was the last car a Ferrari customer could order with custom coachwork.
Best New Ferrari
Best Use of Tape
Favorite Track Car
Rear Admiral Robert Phillips and his 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Scaglietti Spyder, make the perfect track combination. The garage gossip was he was also wearing his vintage driver’s suit from back in the day; he has owned this car for over 50 years. It was heaven to see this on the track at Laguna Seca.

Best Find – All Alone In A Parking Lot
Ferrari We Never Got Tired Of
One of the cars from the Ferraris of The Pebble Beach Road Races, celebrated here and at Pebble Beach, we simply could not resist taking even more photos of this 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Pinin Farina Spyder Series I.
More Is Better
En masse is always a great way to appreciate a car. The nuances and differences are easier to spot. 
These two were missing from the above photo to round out the full array of colors.
Favorite Phrase – “At least its not red.” You already may know red cars and I do not mesh, mentally or physically – long story. However, we found many of the Ferrari owners were thrilled to have their cars appreciated in a color other than red:
- “I like to be unique.”
- “It shows the lines better.”
- “Why be ordinary?”
Is it wrong to admit feeling an underlying desire for McDonalds after being surrounded by all that red and yellow?
