1956 Ferrari 410 Superfast (Pininfarina)

Pinin Farina stole the show at the Paris Salon in 1956 with his 410 Superfast design. He covered the headlights with plastic fairings and adorned the rear fenders with fins that ended in sharp points at the rear.

The front fender air outlets were simplified by having no grille work, and the top had no windshield pillars. Front and rear protection was furnished only by a pair of vertical bumperettes with rubber inserts.

The chassis of the car measured eight inches shorter than the other 410s, though the shortening wasn't particularly obvious. The car made the rounds at the more important European auto shows that season, then was sold to American oil man Bill Doheny, but not before windshield posts were added to support the front of the roof.
