The Future Ferrari Classics

There is no inherent recipe determining drivers' attraction to sports cars. There is plenty that goes into the fine craft and style of each model, a great deal of speed and unique design that gets drivers behind the wheel. But with all the various sports cars on the market, even all the models that fall under the Ferrari umbrella, the question often asked: "Will this car be the next classic?" Of course we see what is special about the particular Ferrari we drive because we were attracted to it in the first place. But how can this speed, style and luxury predict the price tag of the model years down the road? Will it continue to boast a 6 figure price or will it roll into the 7, maybe even 8, digit figures?

There was the Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta, made between 1962-63, sold for $38.1 million, and then the Ferrari 250 GT Lusso touched by Steve McQueen himself and dawning a $2.3 million price tag.  What makes these cars so special, what sets them apart are their features, their history, the rarity of such a model. Perhaps Steve McQueen can't touch our Ferrari and make it a rarer figure, but what we can do is look beyond the style and speed of our Ferrari and think: "What makes this ride different? What sets my Ferrari apart from the rest?"

These are the things we can keep in mind as we think classics and the role our ride might play in the auction houses and auto shows of the future. In the meantime, continue to drive Ferrari and check out any one of Boardwalk Ferrari's potential classics in Plano, TX today.
