You may think that the car looks a bit sporty, fancy and maybe even classy. Most will recognize the car is a Ferrari but are you aware of how the car got its name??
Enzo Ferrari love for racing began early when he was just a boy. He had first learned about racing from his father in Bologna Italy. At the age of 21 Enzo made his racing debut. In 1929 Enzo Ferrari would start building the Ferrari car company but the first road car would not come about til 1947.
Headquartered in Maranello Italy and later in Modena the company remained strong even after being bombed during the War. In 1963 Ford tried to purchase the Ferrari car company for $18 million but the deal ended when Ford declined to allow Enzo to be in total control of the racing program.
The logo used by Ferrari had also been the symbol for the flying ace in the Italian air force during WWI Count Francesco Baracca. Ferrari will go down in history as a world wide known racer and his company. In 1988 he passed from the pages of history due to kidney disease
