Description
Not very palatable but unique..one of Enzo Ferrari's very exotic and expensive automobiles..
Were back at the Concours now..
A little history below on the prancing horse emblem that signifies Ferrari as supposedly told by Enzo himself.
The Ferrari Emblem - â??The story of the prancing horse is simple and fascinating. The horse was painted on the fuselage of the fighter plane flown by Francesco Baracca, a heroic Italian pilot who died on Mount Montello: the Italian ace of aces of the First World War. In 1923, when I won the first Savio circuit, which was run in Ravenna, I met Count Enrico Baracca, the pilotâ??s father, and subsequently his mother, Countess Paolina. One day she said to me, â??Ferrari, why donâ??t you put my sonâ??s prancing horse on your cars; it would bring you luck.â?? (Ferrari won that race). I still have Baraccaâ??s photograph with the dedication by his parents, in which they entrusted the emblem to me. The horse was black and has remained so; I added the canary yellow background because it is the colour of Modena (his home town).â?? ~ Enzo Ferrari
