Shell-Ferrari Commercial

[Estrella]

is the one going through new york(model number, etc)?

The commercial

 

[Quixfire]

They are all Formula One Ferraris, the first one is a early 60's, maybe a 64 model. The one in New York looks like a 1974-75 Formula F1 Ferrari. The last one is most likely a late 80's model. These were factory owned races cars a rarely sold to non-factory race teams.

On the other hand I might not know what I'm talking about.

Update:

I was wrong. The one in New York is a mid to late 60's Ferrari 312 F1. Most likely a 1964 0r 65 model.

I want to say 246 F1 but I'm not too sure.

Quixfire, that's a name I have not seen in quite a while.

These are all championship-winning cars. I think the car in Rome is something Alberto Ascari drove, from '52 or '53. The car in New York is an early example of the mid-engine era, my guess is that it's John Surtees? 1964 158 F1. The car in the Asian city is likely Niki Lauda's from '75 or '77. The car in Rio is Schumacher's 1999 example. The car in Monaco is Schumi's 2004. Also shown in Monaco is the wonderful 612 Scaglietti.

i am almost pretty sure it is a 312 F1.

Bandini's?

 

[GoatMonkey]

Absolutely fantastic. I got chills.

Yes, I got caught up in WoW with the wife and then started my own business. Things are now getting back to normal and I might be on the forums a bit more.

A bassini X-Pipe on an italian v8...but it would be analogous to trying to make a Stradaverie (sp) Violin sound...you can come close...but nothing equal.

from the transcript of the ad

We now see the car take a sharp left hander. We cut and as we pick up the front of the car we notice two things have changed. Firstly the car is now a 1967 Ferrari 312 and secondly we're in New York.
