Kerry's 330 GT Restoration

Modern Classic Motors Sales Flyer

This flyer was produced by Modern Classic Motors, Reno, Nevada probably in 1967.  MCM was Bill Harrah's Ferrari distributorship that handled all of the dealers on the west coast.  The flyer is a black and white full-line single page brochure that various dealers would have to hand out to prospective customers.

This flyer is stamped 'Grand Prix Motors' which was the Ferrari dealer in Seattle, Washington (now Ferrari of Seattle).

The interesting thing is that the the picture for the 330 GT 2+2 at the top of the specifications page is actually a 365 GT 2+2 with an availability date of fall, 1968.  However, the caption and specifications all relate to the 330 GT.

This flyer is going to Lowell Brown.  Lowell's 330 GT (SN 8855) was one of the first Ferraris sold by Grand Prix Motors.  Actually, it wasn't even Grand Prix then.  8855 was imported by Luigi Chinetti in 1967 who consigned it to Modern Classics Motors of William Harrah. Pete and Nevele Lovely picked up the car in Reno, drove it to Lovely's Volkswagen dealership in Fife, WA, and sold it to Erick Lange, the Volkswagen dealer in Bellingham, WA. A year later, Lange traded it back to Lovely for a white 330 GTS, and 8855 became the the first used car to be sold by Grand Prix in Seattle, WA which was just formed (in July 1968).

So the flyer will be an excellent addition to the history of 8855.
