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.

1950 Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta, and worth every penny
one of the first model car kits I put together. My nickels on Monogram but it might have been a Revell offering.
ReplyDeleteKeep a mechanic on retainer for this one (and almost any Italian sportscar).
ReplyDeleteI'll take mine in red, please!
ReplyDeleteI thought it came with a Burnette.
ReplyDeleteIs that Italian for cigarette lighter?
DeleteWhat is mind boggling is a V12 that only has a 2.0 liter displacement and only puts out about 130 HP.
ReplyDeleteAnd why can't they make cars this pretty anymore?
ReplyDeleteA work of art.

ReplyDeleteLake Como, Italy
ReplyDeleteSteering wheel is on the wrong side, but then everyone knows that.
