Ferrari NART Daytona - Full Deck

The racing car that makes up this piece of art has so much meaning for me. It is the North American Racing
Team (NART) Ferrari Daytona. NART was the team operated out of the Greenwich, Connecticut, CHINETTI
FERRARI dealership, the place I worked in my very early days. This was ground-zero for Ferrari in the U.S. NART
was legendary as Ferrari’s U.S. racing team. Adding to this was the mystique of the Daytona. A road-going GT car
that was a monster wherever it appeared. As a kid, I got to see one on a regular basis, driving around Westport
at the hands of family friend, John Cuccio. It was an impressive beast, and he didn’t baby it at all. Pure legend!
