The legendary logo used by Ferrari has an unusual origin. This logo was originally used as a personal badge by Francesco Baracca, an Italian World War I pilot who painted the badge on the fuselage of the plane he was flying.
Background of sports car:
In the United States, convertible cars are quietly developed because of their abundant and cheap steel and fuel, and the cars are getting bigger and bigger. In 1950s and 1960s, a flamboyant and grandiose style emerged, and spacious cars became popular.
Another factor that stimulates the development of convertible is the development of motor racing. By participating in the racing competition, automobile manufacturers got two inspirations. First, the performance of these cars on the track will become an influencing factor when people buy cars.
In the eyes of the public, a convertible is a sports car. With the increasing popularity of motor racing, large and small automobile manufacturers are committed to establishing their own brands in the competition, and Jaguar is such an example. When Ferrari built luxury supercars for the rich, many ordinary drivers became more and more interested in convertibles.
