Chattanooga’s downtown West Village took on a European flavor Saturday morning when nearly $100 million of vintage Ferrari sports cars rolled onto the Westin Hotel patio for display to thousands of vintage car fans during the second day of the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival.
The classic Italian-made Ferrari models that were trucked to Chattanooga for the weekend festival from across the nation included two Spyders from central Florida that together are valued at more than $50 million – including the last of only 55 Ferrari 250 California Spyders that Ferrari built in 1963 (popularized in the 1986 movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”).
The other Ferrari Spyder on display is one of only 10 1967 275 NART (North American Racing Team) Spyder models that were the first Ferraris to be offered for sale with a transaxle.
Tom Hill, manager of Rare Wheels Collections in Windermere, Florida, brought the Ferrari models to Chattanooga for the first time and praised the setting for the car display.
