1959 FERRARI 250 GT BERLINETTA

Bearing chassis number 1519, this was the fifth of seven long-wheelbase 250 GT Berlinetta coupes built by Ferrari. It was later unofficially dubbed “interim” because it represented a transition between Ferrari’s Tour de France and SWB (short-wheelbase) Berlinetta models. It was built to preview the aerodynamic purity of a new Pinin Farina race car body design that was successful enough to garner multiple race victories including first overall at the October 1959 Coupes du Salon.
