Palisades

The sun was barely up at 6:00 am on Sunday, April 26, as the many volunteers began arriving in Pacific Palisades to organize the second Ferrari Show on the streets of this beautiful Los Angeles beach-front suburb. They came from FCA, the Palisades Chamber of Commerce, FOC, Explorer Scouts, and plenty of local residents and business people.

Then the cars started to arrive. First came the major exhibitors; Steve Tillack, with no less than two race vans and 8 cars, including a 212 Export and a 340 America, (both of which are on the way to the Mille Miglia); the "Sinclair" 212 Export LWB, a former MM 2nd place finisher and the winner of the ?52 MM, a 250S; and #0622 500 Mondial TR, just restored. Ferrari of Beverly Hills and Ogner Motorcars displayed a total of 13 both new and historic cars; Ogner featuring a "cut" 365 Daytona Spyder and a 250GTO remake on a Lusso chassis; Ferrari of Beverly Hills with 3 F355?s, a 456GT and a 550 Maranello. GT Motors featured a display of the "before, during and after" restoration process. Symbolic Motors came up from La Jolla with 6 cars including an F40 and a new 456GTA,; a 355 Spyder and a 348 Spyder; a ?90 Testarossa; and the ex-Dick Irish ?67 GTB/4.

Then, the individual owner/drivers started to arrive: well over 100 of them. All told, 142 Ferraris graced the Palisades streets, which were blocked off courtesy of the LAPD. And, as reported by them to the Palisadian Post, over 12,000 spectators came out on a beautiful Sunday to admire the Ferraris, enjoy the music, fashion show, food and entertainment, and patronize local businesses. Every "entrant" who brought a car received a care package, which included a trophy, free lunch tickets for two (furnished by Mort?s Palisades Deli), a bottle of Mother?s Wax for last minute touch-up, and a tee-shirt provided by Ferrari of Beverly Hills. The cars were on display on 3 picturesque Village streets on both sides of Sunset Boulevard for 6 hours, giving everyone ample time to ogle and take pictures.

Due special thanks for the work it took over the past three months to put on this spectacular show are Marshall Leib and Shin Takei, representing the FCA Southwest Region; David Williams, Mort Farberow, Mazi Aghalarpour, Roberta Donohue, Ed Lowe and Arnie Wishnick (among others) of the Palisades Chamber. Contributing greatly to the successful event were sponsor/participants GT Motors, Ferrari of Beverly Hills, Ogner Motorcars, Tillack Motors, Ferrari Owner?s Club, and Vivian?s Boutique. And, FCA?s own thank you to Wally Clark and Bill Inglis for manning the FCA Southwest Region booth. Earl Gandel
