Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Cortile Italian Car Show Ferrari Club of America One lap of America

Each year the Cortile selects a marque or model to highlight for our annual event based upon factors such as historical significance, unique local interest, brand resurgence, etc. We call this the Proiettore Macchina.
For 2013 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of the Ferrari Club of America we celebrate Ferrari's in North America. More details to follow, but you really don't want to miss this event!

Early in the 1960s, Ferrari was a little-known name in the United States. There was a small community of racers who had imported Ferraris, frequently used ones. These soon became non-competitive, and some, late in their lives, even acquired American engines. In 1961 or 1962, John Lundin, Gerry Sutterfield and Ken Hutchison were at the Elkhart Lake races with friends, and saw a Ferrari Barchetta in tatty condition. Later in the day, the hood was opened, revealing that the Barchetta had a Chevrolet engine! The group agreed that something had to be done to encourage preservation and restoration of such Ferraris. Ken, John and Gerry were motivated by this experience, and soon joined with others of like mind to develop a Ferrari enthusiasts’ club. On October 24, 1963 the Ferrari Club of America was founded and this year we celebrate their 50th Anniversary.
