Even though the first Ferrari was a 12-cyclinder race car called the 125 S that was built in 1947, the first vehicle actually manufactured by Enzo Ferrari, the company's founder, was the 815, an 8-cyclinder, 1500 cc machine. Only two of these cars were built in 1939 at Enzo Ferrari's first company, Auto Avio Contruzioni—due to a non-compete clause with his former employer, Alfa Romeo, the first Ferrari automobile to wear a Ferrari badge was the 125. Given Enzo Ferrari's background as a race-car driver and the driving force behind Scuderia Ferrari, whose drivers mostly raced Alfas, it's no surprise that the first cars that came out of the Ferrari factory after World War II were designed to roar past checkered flags at courses such as Mille Miglia and the circuit laid out for the Monaco Grand Prix. But by 1949, Ferrari was beginning to bankroll his passion for building racing cars by also manufacturing sports cars for the general public, albeit of a demographic that could afford a Ferrari. On the racing side, Ferrari won its first Formula 1 World Championship, the British Grand Prix, in 1951. On the touring side, the first Ferrari sold in the United States by driver and car dealer Luigi Chinetti was a two-seat, 12-cylinder 166 Inter, which came in sedan, coupe, and convertible models—only a dozen were built. The similar 195 Inter with a production run of 24 was manufactured roughly in parallel with the 212 Inter that would supersede it. A racing version of the 212 Inter, dubbed the 212 Export, was also manufactured from 1951 to 1952. That car would win the 10 Hours of Messina, as well as many other races. Two Ferrari lines dominated the 1950s, at least in terms of its road cars for consumers. The first was the Ferrari America line, introduced in 1950; the first America model was the 340, which featured a Lampredi V12 engine and bodies by some of Italy's most respected coachbuilders, including Vignale, Ghia, and Pininfarina. Starting in 1952, Ferrari also manufactured a number of 250 GT models, all but one of which used engines designed by Gioacchino Colombo, which first engine for Ferrari had powered the 125. One of these 250s, a 1957 convertible called the California Spyder, was featured in the 1986 hit movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." The 1950s would have been a good decade for Enzo Ferrari were it not for the untimely death, in 1956, of his 24-year-old son, Alfredo, known to the world as Dino. Beginning in 1957, Enzo Ferrari began naming a number of racing cars—equipped with V6 engines that Dino had helped design—after his only son, and in 1967, the first of only 152 Dino 206 GTs road cars were produced. This model was followed in 1969 by the more powerful Dino 246 GT and GTS (it had a removable top), of which more than 3,500 of the Pininfarina designed cars were manufactured. In 1973, Ferrari turned to Bertone to design a body for its last Dino, the 308 GT4, which featured a V8 engine under the hood. In 1976, the car's Dino badge was swapped for a Ferrari badge, thus ending 20 years of automotive mourning.
