And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

1955 Ferrari 375 MM Berlinetta Speciale by Pininfarina.
Everything got fins back then. It's also the big block, SOHC, 4.5 ltr (274.5 C. I.) Still a ladder chassis, Boraini's and drum brakes. This model is also RHD.
This predates the Cobra by 8 years and the Cobra was a spin off of the AC Ace which was contemporary to the 375MM. The MM stands for Mille Miglia. The 1000 mile open road race that ran from Rome to Brescia and back. Last won by Pierro Taruffi (The Silver Fox) in 1957. In a Ferrari of course.

Many of the same lines as a Shelby Cobra.
