I just returned from vacation in MA and wanted to share a few pictures from the Ralph Lauren Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Thanks for the pics. Didn't he have a car featured in the Ferrari episode of Victory by Design?

Yes, a 375 Plus. Beautiful car! But Gawd, I love those GTOs....

That 959 us supposed to have a Carrera 4-spoke steering wheel isn't it?

Good catch.

Aside from being the wrong wheel; it's not even a real 930S wheel.

How long will this exhibit be in place? I'll be in Boston mid-June.

For the record there is a Porsche (probably fiberglass) in the Sin City movie.

True, but I suppose with all the driving that he did with that car back when he first got it (illegally mind you), the steering wheel probably wasn't up to par with the rest of the car, so I'm assuming he had it switched out.

Interesting that the Mclaren doesn't have the personalized license plate that reads "RL ONE", it used to wear that plate in all the magazine shoots.

yep, he could afford the 959 . . .but couldn't find anywhere to drive . . . it just sat in his front yard, under a blue tarp . .. made from blem'd blue-jeans.

I think RL has 3 F1's.
Sucks to be financially challenged.

The Count Trossi SSK is just incredible.

And to add some Porsche content, the engineering for the SSK was done by the Prof. when he was at Mercedes.
