I posted a few of these in Car Talk but figure I'd post more of the Ferrari and MB F1 and other race cars here.

Fantastic. Some really iconic models.

I was trying to figure what that was.

My second year at Amelia Concours, it's great to be able to get that close to these historic cars.

Yeah, I was amused by that as well, that and the transmission oil cooler added above it look like afterthoughts on this beautiful Ferrari 642.
I spoke to the owner, and he got it ~8 years ago for $600K and is trying to sell it for $600K now. He was also the owner of that Nissan/Momo NPT-90 GTP car.
That was a bargain at $200K which he leased it to Pepsi to use in a commercial.

Those Silver Arrows 722

I think that MOMO Nissan was also in the NISMO GT-R LM commercial that aired during the Super Bowl.

Your right that was the Nissan/Momo car used in that commercial, I got confused (another car at the show was used in a Pepsi commercial). The owner's son drove it also drove it in that commercial as well.

Interesting feature on that car is the boost control is OUTSIDE the car for the pitcrew to adjust but no interior control for the driver. Never seen that before, the owner pointed it out.
