Ferrari Lusso in Blue

About 20 years ago my father and I picked up this Lusso on Long Island. Since each of these cars has a story, the story for this car goes like this.

A sculptor saw images of the newly released Ferrari 250 Lusso and was swept off his feet by the shape. I leared later from his son whom my wife and I ran into at a Bar in Burlington (scary coincidence) that his father was a supremely visually oriented man whos world revloved around shape. He bought the car new in light blue but shortly after a man down the street bought a Lusso in the same color. The sculptor was infuriated so he sent the car back to Ferrari where they painted it a dark brown with a subtle red pinstripe along the belt line.

We got the car up and running after is sat for a bunch of years and sold it to a man in NH. The NH man asked us to change the front windshield seal because it leaked like crazy and when we removed seal it a huge chunk of paint went with it. The buyer was supremely upset and insisted we pay for the repair. We stripped the car down and painted it this shade of blue at that time.

The buyer was never happy with the car, it did not offer the performance of the Corvettes that he was used to so we sold it to the current owner who drives the wheels off the car. He hired us to re-upholser the interior in the tan color that it was originally and at that time we re-plated all of the chrome. The wire wheels and other chrome is original and some day we may strip the car and give it a stunning paint job and restore the body.

As it goes, this is one of the best driving Lussos that I had around, an outstanding drivers car.
