Can anyone identify this Ferrari? photos from an estate sale
I got an email to an estate sale preview and while scrolling through the photos I noticed stack of pictures, actual pictures, labeled "Sebring 1956" Obviously finding these photos really got my blood pumping but the auction was a couple days away and I've been sick. My girlfriend was nice enough to run by and lo and behold all the photos were still there. She bought everything they had and one lady working the sale seemed confused why anyone would want them!
Anyways I'll post more but in the stack (not the Sebring album) was this Ferrari, anyone know anything about this particular car? I know back then these were just old race cars and not necessarily collector pieces like they are today but surely this car ended up somewhere? I'll post the Sebring album later when I'm on my home wifi along with some other radical stuff. I'm honored to be the custodian for these photos so that others can enjoy them some day.

Looks like a 275 GTB, while people may have raced them back then they were more of a road car, and not an inexpensive one.

Agree with KNS: 275 GTB.

Interestingly, there's no 275 listed in the starting lineup for the '56 Sebring race; there's a 375, (DNF, transmission,) and even more curiously, the #29 is issued to an Austin Healey driven by Lance Macklin and Archie Scott Brown.
(Archie Scott Brown is an interesting story; he was born disfigured but won dozens of sports car races.)

The picture is mislabeled. It looks like the 275 GTB/C was only made in 1966 and the GTB was made from 1966-1968. This photo appears to be from 1967 at Daytona.
 http://www.barchetta.cc/english/all.ferraris/detail/9063.275gtbc.htm Looks like it got some much-needed PDR and a nice coat of wax.

I don't think that that picture is from 1956. The car in the background appears to be a 1961 -'68 Lincoln Continental . The two tent rtrailer also appear to be early 1960 models. Beautiful Ferrari though, even on that condition.

Thank you all!!
Yes this was not from the 56 Sebring photo album but a random one stuck in there. I'll post more when I get a chance to scan and upload them. Tons of rad stuff in these albums! |

Here's where the album gets interesting:
It appears these were taken in perhaps a home garage, looks like a couple of Zagato bodied something or anothers, anyone wanna chime in on what these are?

This is probably my favorite from the pile, it could be a magazine cover!! Would look incredible blown up into a large format print.
