Each year, Italy's Automaestro Enzo Ferrari brings his high-whining, finely tuned racing instruments to Florida for the Sebring Twelve Hour Endurance Race. Each year, with splendid monotony, they mop up everything but the oil on the track. When onetime Racing Driver Carroll Shelby decided in 1961 to challenge the master with a cannibalized machine of his own devising - a brutish Ford engine* jammed into a bulging A.C. Bristol body - the Monster of Maranello smiled a fine Italian smile. Last year on this concrete and blacktop track, three of the six Shelby Cobras entered broke down; highest Cobra...
Candy's sweet success is the handiwork of the Fumagalli brothers-Niso, 55; Enzo, 48; and Peppino, 34-who took over their father's forsaken electrical apparatus factory after the war and made Candy an Italian household word with hard-selling sales and advertising campaigns. The Fumagallis originally intended to make dishwashers, but Enzo had been impressed by the popularity of washing machines in the U.S. while a prisoner of war in California. He named the company after a once-popular U.S. song that begins: "Candy, I call my sugar candy." Last year Candy took...
...Frenchmen call it La Ronde Infernale ("The Hell Circuit"). Pro drivers hate it: the 8.3-mile course is monotonous, and amateurs are allowed to compete, a fact that makes the coolest pro perspire with fright. The only man who really enjoys Le Mans is Italy's crusty old Enzo Ferrari, whose cars have won the race five times in the past six years...
...Enzo Ferrari is an Italian automotive genius who worships power and precision and regularly rolls the world's finest and fastest racing cars out of his factory at Maranello. Henry Ford II is a sales-conscious U.S. automotive chief whose company has lately re-emphasized speed and competitive racing as one way to catch up with front-running General Motors. What could be more natural than for the two to get together? They plan to. Ferrari, which produced about 500 cars last year, and Ford, which produced 3,400,000, will become partners once mutual discussions that have been...
...overtures were begun by Enzo Ferrari. Though his cars dominated sports-car racing for eight of the last ten years and took the first six places last month at Sebring, Fla., the moody Italian intends to cut down his activities. For one thing, he is 65. For another, Ferraris barreling along at 160 m.p.h. have cracked up and killed an awesome roll of racing's best drivers-Ascari, De Portago, Von Trips, Castellotti, Musso. For all his ordinary tyranny with engineers, mechanics and drivers, Ferrari calls in his cars and broods whenever a driver dies. Taunts of "murderer...
