The name Ferrari invokes excitement and passion from many car enthusiasts. Luigi Chinetti an Italian-born racecar driver and 3-time winner of LeMans relocated to the US prior to WWII. He reconnected with his friend Enzo Ferrari where he proposed becoming Ferrari’s official importer in the US. In 1953 he established Luigi Chinetti Motors. Not only was he the exclusive US Ferrari dealership, but he founded the North American Racing Team (NART) in 1958. This exhibit explores the early Ferraris during the years that Luigi would be the importer.
