Jalopnik has a great feature of this event. Wish I was in NYC this weekend to see it in person!

Ferrari turns 70 this year, which is a pretty major milestone. Seventy years of racing and producing some of the most beautiful road cars ever to grace the earth. What is a better way to celebrate this than to throw a big celebration in the City That Hates Cars, then?

Over this coming Columbus Day weekend, Ferrari will display iconic classics and contemporary models in various New York City locations. They are:
  • “Through The Decades”—Rockefeller Plaza will host an open-air exhibition displaying one extraordinary car per decade, as well as the limited edition LaFerrari Aperta (30 Rockefeller Plaza between 49th to 50th Streets and 5th and 6th Avenues).
  • “Motorsport And Performance”—Hublot Flagship Store to have a store-front exhibition on Fifth Avenue of iconic racing cars, past and present (Hublot, 743 Fifth Avenue at 57th Street).
  • “Ferrari Today”—Ferrari New York Showroom with front-engine V12s in the spotlight. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the showroom (410 Park Avenue at 55th Street).
  • “Iconic Ferrari”—RM Sotheby’s, where you can see supercars and priceless models across the decades. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the 10th floor gallery (Sotheby’s, 1334 York Avenue at 71st Street).

I think if I could have any of these (please??), I'd go for the 288 GTO. Perfect.

Yes, that GTO is a dream. This one would be my other top choice:

I'd have to side with @Calibre11 on this and go with the 288 GTO.

Now, if that were a 1967 275 GTB/4... Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.

Ah well, two Rogers don't make a right, yeah?

We are in agreement, I would pick the GTO as well. What I meant is that the 1963 275 GTB, would be my runner up. 😀

At least it's not based on a Pontiac Fiero...

happy 70th Maranello- great pictures @Hubert - saw a beautiful white Ferrari (not sure which model) on Friday in Northern Virginia

my thought was how difficult it would be to purchase a Ferrari that wasn’t RED but it sure was nice in white as well

It really is a lovely looking car from a more simple day of car design.
