That's true.

But they could only make 100.

So in 1952, Ferrari comes out with the 250 series.

And this is the first real production Ferrari.

And over the next set of years throughout the 50s, Ferrari manufactures a few thousand of them.

So, you know, still a very, very boutique, you know, essentially handmade sports car manufacturer, but a lot more scale than the hundred or so.

Yeah.

Real production volumes.

Yeah.

And as we were alluding to earlier, this car...

is just stunning.

No matter which variant of it you're looking at it, the one in Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a 250 GT California.

It is truly, truly beautiful.

And it was designed not by Enzo Ferrari or even anybody who worked at Ferrari.

It was designed...

by Batista Pinin, was his nickname, Farina, and his Pinin Farina coachbuilders.

So remember earlier when we talked about Enzo's first business venture was he was going to be a coachbuilder?

Turns out that was not his calling in life, but that was the calling in life for Penn and Farina.

He was basically the Michelangelo of car body coachbuilders, and Enzo totally realized it, totally glommed onto it, and...

built this beautiful partnership with Pininfarina, first Batista himself, and then his son Sergio, and then multiple generations that lasted 61 years.
