Wooden Ferrari? Yes! These are original Pininfarina styling bucks for the 1966 Ferrari 330gtc (top row), 1966 Ferrari 365p (bottom left) and 1964 Ferrari 500 Superfast, and were seen at the L'Idea Ferrari exhibit on the grounds of Forte Belvedere overlooking Florence Italy. The forms were used to create hand-crafted bodies.

The Pininfarina site states �Their collaborators often came from the furniture industry, so they were used to working with wood,� observes Tom Tjaarda, an American designer based in Turin since 1959, who worked at Pininfarina for several years. �That is why, when they made the wooden body bucks and styling models, they could easily translate what people like Pininfarina wanted into three-dimensional forms.�
