The moment a young sports car enthusiast in Massachusetts laid eyes on his first Ferrari in 1958, his life was forever transformed. The sleek black 250 GT coupe with its seductive lines, purposeful air, and already revered name captivated Robert E. Guarino's imagination. Just a few years later, he found himself selling these iconic cars. In 1967, fueled by his passion and a mere investment of $6,000 each, he partnered with two others and opened a dealership that specialized in Ferrari, Porsche, and Datsun vehicles.
This memoir takes readers on a captivating journey through the author's lifelong association with Ferraris and other remarkable automobiles. It highlights unforgettable experiences, such as a nonstop drive from Chicago to Boston in a 308 GTB, exhilarating rides with influential figures like Piero Ferrari at Fiorano and Dario Benuzzi at Mugello, visits to the Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini factories, the heart-stopping horror of witnessing a delivery truck crash into a row of brand-new cars, and the sheer joy of driving iconic models like the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, 250 GTO, 288 GTO, and F40.
Through vivid anecdotes and personal reflections, the author shares his deep love for these machines and the people who have shaped his automotive journey. The book is a testament to the enduring power of passion and the incredible connections that can be forged through the world of automobiles. Whether you are a car enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and elegance of fine automobiles, this memoir is a must-read for anyone who has ever dreamt of owning a Ferrari.
