1959 Ferrari 250 GT Series 1 Cabriolet

  • Chassis Number: 1181GT
1959 Ferrari 250 GT Navigation
This Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series 1 was exhibited at the 1959 New York Auto Show and was the last Series 1 Cabriolet to feature covered headlamps. It was built with the stronger 508D chassis and equipped with the latest version of Gioacchino Colombo's short-block engine, which was prized for the twin rear-mounted Marelli distributors that gave the car the same road manners as the later 250 GT Spyder California. This Cabriolet is the 36th of the 40 250 GT Cabriolets built. The car was previously owned by some famous Ferrari drivers, including Bob Grossman, and was also owned by Pebble Beach Chief Honorary Judge Glenn Mounger. It has recently been restored and painted in this dark blue with a tan leather interior by its previous owner, British Ferrari collector Chris Evans.
