A Special Iso Grifo from Ferrari of Los Gatos

My Friend Jeff purchased an Iso Grifo from Ferrari of Los Gatos back in the 80’s. The salesman told him it was a show car and he took the comment with a grain of salt. “Ya, sure it is.” Well, it turns out the salesman was correct. Iso Grifo #336 was the first series 2 […]

He Could Identify every Car on the Road

My son, Joe, was 14 or 15 years old and totally into cars – I mean really into them! We’d be driving and he’d call out the name and model of every cool-looking car on the road. Next came the details. Engine size, horsepower, transmission type… He knew them all! I knew there was a […]
