RACE THROUGH THE DECADES’ WILL FEATURE CLASSIC AND CURRENT FERRARI MODELS ON RODEO DRIVE

Ferrari is celebrating 60 years in the United States on Oct. 12 with its “Race Through the Decades: 1954-2014” event. The celebration takes place on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills with Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo as the master of ceremonies. The event is free to the public.

“Beverly Hills is proud to help celebrate 60 years of Ferrari in America by hosting this world-class event,” said Lili Bosse, mayor of Beverly Hills. “We invite all of our city’s residents and visitors to join us for the ‘Race Through the Decades’ exhibition.”

The event will feature some TV icons like the Ferrari 308 GTS of “Magnum P.I.” and a Testarossa from “Miami Vice.” Steve McQueen’s 275 GTB/4 will also be on hand; it was delivered to the actor on the set of “Bullitt.” The 2014 Pebble Beach “Best in Show” winner will be there, a 1954 Ferrari 375 MM.

Cryptically, Ferrari also said the event will herald the debut of a new car “dedicated to collectors in the United States.” We’re not sure what that means, but we’re excited about it.

The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Rodeo between Wilshire and Santa Monica. Go to ferrari.com for more info.
