Ferrari’s have always been amongst the most desirable automobiles to own and drive. They are one of the ultimate status symbols of wealth in throught the entire world. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has largely enjoyed great success, especially during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, late 1990s, and 2000s. Finally, after years of financial struggles, Enzo Ferrari sold the company’s sports car division to the Fiat group in 1969 in order to help ensure continued financial backing for his company for the foreseeable future. Enzo Ferrari himself retained control of the racing division until his death in 1988 in his beloved Modena, Italy at the age of 90.
