Ferrari 375 MM Spider #24 1954 Panamericana Chinetti/Shakespeare Red/ Black interior/ Brown seats in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari 375 MM Spider #24 1954 Panamericana Chinetti/Shakespeare Red/ Black interior/ Brown seats in 1:18 scale by CMC.
At the 1954 Carrera Panamericana, one of the most brutal road races of the era, the Ferrari 375 MM Spider #24 — entered by privateer John Shakespeare and co-driven by Luigi Chinetti and Shakespeare himself — brought Ferrari’s powerful V12 sports racer home to a 6th-place overall finish after tackling more than 3,000 km of public highways across Mexico in just eight stages. Chinetti was a legendary Italian-American racer and Ferrari patron with decades of endurance experience, and Shakespeare was a strong privateer competitor; together they navigated the punishing mix of high-speed straights, rough surfaces, and relentless distances that made the Panamericana unlike typical closed-circuit events. The Carrera Panamericana was renowned for testing car and driver endurance on open roads at high average speeds, drawing major manufacturers and top drivers because success there — even a classified finish — was seen as a badge of rugged reliability and daring that set it apart from most other races of its time.
