Scarab[]

The homegrown Scarab established its historical significance by soundly beating Europe's fastest sports cars at the 1958 Grand Prix at Riverside. In doing so, this small-block All- American racer blazed the way for the Cobras and Chaparrals which followed. By the time the Scarab retired it had changed the face of racing and solidly established American racers as a world-class force.

Ferrari 365 GTS/4 "Daytona"[]

In 1968, Ferrari gambled with its new model, the "Daytona". With the competition turning to mid - engine designs, Ferrari introduced its flagship car with a front - engine layout. In keeping the cart behind the horse(power), Ferrari had produced a stunning coupe with an elongated hood, short rear deck and comfortable, luxurious cabin. It was an instant hit and the 365 GTS/4 became one of Ferrari's most celebrated cars.

Porsche 356[]

in 1948, Ferdinand Porsche unveiled his first sports car. Two years later, he produced the first vehicle to bear his name, the Porsche 356. It was a precision - crafted sports car with exceptional performance that remained in production until 1966, and successfully laid the groundwork from which the Porsche legend has grown. The 356's classic design is so irresistible that the basic lines are still being used on today's Porsche cars, more than 50 years later.
