Since 1964, the Ferrari Club of America (FCA) has held an Annual Meet in North America. This is a multi-day, national FCA event held in a different location each year, always near to a renowned road racing track. Last year in 2015 it was held in Monterey, CA after Pebble Beach Week; see 2015 Concours and 2015 Laguna Seca for write ups.
This year in June 2016, the Ferrari Club National Meet was held in Columbus, Ohio near the historic Mid-Ohio Sports track. The Ferrari Club Concours d’Elegance was held on the 18th hole at the Brookside Golf and Country Club in Columbus. The theme for the Meet was: Honoring the Ferrari 275 and its 50th Anniversary. The weather was perfect, the cars were spectacular, Ferrari North America (FNA) brought some additional eye candy, as did Ferrari dealers Cauley and Continental.
Ferrari Club members came from all over to attend the impressive FCA Concours d’Elegance. Logistics were smooth, attendance was good, and tickets were available at the gate for the public (with proceeds going to charity). In addition to the Concours, there is a Competitive Rally & Pleasure Drive through the countryside, multiple days of racetrack activities, a vendor market (Mercato di Ferrari), seminars, receptions, charity auction and banquet with award presentations. Hats off to the FCA Ohio Chapter and Central States Region for organizing this feat.
Here is a walk through the Ferrari Club Concours

1967 Ferrari 365 California Spyder, s/n 10327. This is one of just fourteen 365 Cal Spyders produced, shown in its original Rosso Chiaro color. The interior had been white leather but was reupholstered to the current tan. This was among the very last California Spyders produced, and one of just two that were not originally constructed with pop up fog lights, however, the lights have been retrofitted. The price tag for the Ferrari Cal Spyder was about $21,000 in 1967. This one sold for $2.97M at auction in 2013

It was raced in Europe, including the 1954 Grand Prix Supercortemaggiore at Monza and the 1955 Mille Miglia. In 1957, it was bought by Luigi Chinetti and sent to Sergio Scaglietti, who re-bodied it with what is arguably the first pontoon fender Ferrari body ever created. It was thus the precursor of the pontoon fender Testa Rossa
