AUTOS: Another Rare Ferrari Headed to Auction



Listened to this Daily Mail story when originally posted Dec 31, 2018, an Howled in Protest over its major Foobar of denoting Phil Hill, the only American born Formula 1 World Champion having won his title in 1978, not once but twice in thou article; SHEISA!

As Hard Core F1 Aficionados know that Phil Hill won his title in 1961, and that America's second F1 World Champion Mario Andretti claimed the Crown in '78, for which hopefully the story's been corrected...

The article's about a very rare 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Spyder that was owned by an International Playboy, caught the eye of Hollywood's James Dean and was driven by future F1 World Champion Phil Hill.

And if you've got a spare $6m lying around and like vintage cars, then Y'all may wish to jet off to Arizona soon...
