William Clay Ford and Frank Caddy with 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta, Henry Ford Museum, 6 January 1954
Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company executive William Clay Ford and Henry Ford Museum administrator Frank Caddy posed with a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta. The roadster was a gift from Enzo Ferrari to Henry Ford II. Though Ford owned the car only for a few years, it was apparently long enough for the Barchetta to influence the styling of the 1955 Ford Thunderbird.
