Ferrari Trivia

[GrndLkNatv]

Who was so trusted that he was considered Enzo Ferrari's Partner in the business?

This same person worked with Enzo at Alfa Romeo long before Ferrari built cars..

Enzo once sent this person a picture of himself for a Christmas Present.

This person once told Enzo he couldn't fix his cars anymore as no two were wired the same. Enzo told him I just build the car, this person said yes I know but I have to sell them.

What is the model number of the very 1st Ferrari?

That was Luigi Chinetti I believe, thought about Vittorio Jano as well for a moment but he didn't sell Ferraris, so I'm sticking with Chinetti.

125 S

Almost a trick question, 1947, Franco something...I think it was with the above mentioned 125 S. Italy?? Well, probably.

[Nova]

What was the name of the very 1st Ferrari company?

It aint Alfa..
It isnt Ferrari either..

[Nand0Nand0]

I think Enzo's dad was a coachbuilder and he worked with his dad.

[Nova]

I think Enzo's dad was a coachbuilder and he worked with his dad.

When Enzo started "Ferrari", he had an agreement w/Alfa to not use his name on
his cars, so it has nothing to do w/his fathers family biz.

[Nero Horse]

Some Ferrari car colors are named after what?


Famous race horses.

I didn't know that. That's very interesting, had to do a bit of research on Google and found this: "Many cars produced by Ferrari have some odd names for their colors (i.e. Turchese Molvedo). What you might not know is that these color titles are named after famous race horses."

Thanks for this piece of trivia Nova. :thumb

Like they say, "live and learn"... ;-)
