Ford vs Ferrari
The very first Ford
sold was to Dr. Pfenning
in 1903 for a grand total of
$850.00. The model A had a
2 cylinder engine and could
reach a maximum speed of
30mph.
In 1964, after Ford debuted the
Mustang car, 94,000
pedal-powered toy Mustangs
were bought for children the
following Christmas season.
The only car the late Jim
Morrison, lead singer of the
Doors, ever owned was a
1967 Shelby GT500.
The name Testa Rosa, which
literally means “Red Head” in
Italian, was first used to distinguish
a 3.5 liter12 cylinder engine. In 1984,
the same name was given to the
new Ferrari mid engine.
The Prancing Horse logo
was a nod to an Italian
flying ace of WWI.
Ferrari design team generates about
1.5 billion dollars worldwide every year
in retail. It includes Ferrari logoed
clothing, watches, sunglasses, shoes
and of course.....automobiles.
