Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 - AUTO DIDAKT Design Review

 Enjoy this episode:

A Ferrari is a Ferrari is a Ferrari is a Ferrari? Well, not quite. Certainly not, if the singular Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 is anything to go by. Where other Ferrari designs are flamboyant and extrovert, the 2+2's is calm and sober. Get acquainted with the modernist Ferrari in all its glory in the video.

Blueprint prototipo detail : rear lights 365GT4 2+2

I did posted this blog a few days ago:

https://erwin400.blogspot.com/2024/11/auction-ferrari-365gt4-22-working-blue.html

And then later realized I do have a photograph about one specific part of this blueprint: the rear light section. I don't think I have published these photo's yet, at least I couldn not find it on my own blog :-) 

In fact I do have a few more photo's I bought. I have the rights to publish these on the internet only, so these can not be published in a book. See this related blog about the background:

Dutch spot - 1977 Ferrari 400

Adding this one for the records. Compliments to the owner who enjoys his car during this time of the year on the Dutch road (A4 towards Schiphol). It's a very early 400 carburettor 30-6-1977. Very cool!

Factory photo

Barely noticeable but there is a white 412 in the top right corner. I suspect this must be somewhere around 1985 or 1986.
