Art Museum Features Legendary Ferrari

Actor James Coburn. Film producer John Calley. Musician Dean Martin Jr. Financier Carl Lindner.
Those are some of the past owners of the low-lying, curvy, deep yellow 1967 Ferrari 412P now on exhibit at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
It's the third car in a quarterly rotation that started in the spring as part of an effort to showcase more industrial design at the museum - and is the second Ferrari to be placed on a pedestal.
The first was a lipstick red 1950 Ferrari 166MM Barchetta loaned by Tom Stegman of Finneytown.

It was part of the Italian auto manufacturer's prototype racing car series and was widely considered a "more manageable" version of its legendary 330 P3 fuel injected race car.
