Ferrari 375 America Vignale Cabriolet

As the name suggests, the Ferrari America series of high-end grand tourers was developed by the still-young Italian automaker to appeal to the American market. In the 1950s Americans tended to prefer large vehicles with prodigious engines and jet age styling – so that’s what Enzo gave them.

Each Ferrari America 375 was powered by a road-going version of the Lampredi designed “long block” V12 with a displacement of 4522cc. This engine was fitted with a bank of Weber carburetors, a twin coil and distributor ignition, and power was sent to the live axle rear end through an all-synchromesh manual transmission.

Upon ordering their car people could choose from a variety of final drive ratios depending on whether they wanted searing acceleration or more relaxed highway cruising at lower RPMs. As was common with Ferrari naming conventions the 375 was named for the displacement of a single cylinder – though in this case it was rounded down slightly from 376.8cc to 375.

The Ferrari America series would begin with the 340 America released in 1950 and sold until 1952 in very limited numbers. This would be followed by the 342 America in 1952, which was then succeeded by the America 375 in 1953.

The America 375 was one of the high points of the series, along with its successor the 410 Superamerica, which was followed by the 400 Superamerica, the 500 Superfast, and finally, the 365 California.

Lampredi V12s were used in all the cars up until the 400 Superamerica in 1959 at which point the lower displacement Colombo V12 was used. This would be the V12 that would power many of Ferrari’s most important cars through the 1960s and beyond, but there’s no denying the Lampredi engine was the king of the 1950s. The car you see here is the Ferrari 375 America Vignale cabriolet from 1954 and as mentioned further up, it’s both the only 375 cabriolet that was ever made and one of just three big-block cabriolets with 4.5 liter or larger engines built by Ferrari in the 1950s.

Enzo Ferrari sold this car to its first owner, Mrs Bianca Colizzi, the daughter of famous Italian film director Giuseppe Colizzi. For reasons lost to history it was parked up in storage a year later where it was seen by Luigi Musso, the future Scuderia Ferrari factory driver.

Musso mentioned the existence of the car to an American acquaintance named Harry Chambers, a TWA executive who had been sent to Italy to open the airline’s Milan division. Chambers was able to track down the Ferrari and buy it, he enjoyed driving it in Italy for two years, even visiting the Monza circuit on at least one occasion.

Hey, kid. You wanna get your boot off of my bumper? We haven’t been in Rome lately but you probably can’t park there any more. Found this pic while looking for something else, and while trying to figure out the model of Ferrari (365? California? Superfast? ) we found out that the pic is from 1966, and can be found on the Moda webpage.

Ferrari 342 America Cabriolet, 1952; Ferrari 342 America, 1953; Ferrari 500 Superfast, 1966; Ferrari 365 California Spyder, 1967. When Enzo Ferrari began producing sports cars under his own name in the late 1940s, he immediately identified the United States as a key potential market, creating some models specifically for his new American clients. Four examples of these highly-prized American-inspired Ferraris will be on display with a dedicated ‘Ferrari Americas’ class in this year’s Salon Privé Concours d’Elégance at Blenheim Palace
