Presented in original condition, this full-scale interpretation of the 250 GT Pinin Farina Cabriolet Series I, chassis number 0759 GT, is a fine example of a craftsman’s tool taken to an art form. That Ferrari was reportedly a particular favorite of Marilyn Monroe and spent many years on display at the Maranello Rosso Museum in San Marino. It was loaned to Auto Sport of Bastigila, Modena for the construction of this manichino (mannequin) wireframe sculpture with particular attention from Sig. Villa. It is a truly unique presentation and beautiful work of art.
