The History of the Ferrari

It started when Enzo Ferrari dreamed not of making wonderful cars, but of racing with the big company's and winning.  He started making cars in the late 1940's and they could fly. 

He got his body styles from the help of racers, and other racing company's.  Now that is no ordinary stallion on the front of those cars.  It is the symbol used on a famous airplane pilot's jet.  Ferrari met this pilot, and as a favor he asked Ferrari to use the stallion as his symbol; because the pilot's mother was dying.  This is how he would remember his mother he told Ferrari.

 

 

 

As Ferrari became more known around the racing world; he started to make everyday cars for you and me.  Of course you would have to be rich to own one of his great cars.  But, soon after that he became very ill and handed the company over to his sons before he died.  And, therefore started a new era.
