I believe the car Ferrari in the picture is a Ferrari Dino 246 GT. At the the time, Ferrari would not permit a Ferrari badge to appear on any vehicle that wasn't a V-12. The Dino 246 has a sweet little twin cam v-6. And of course, now Ferrari Badges now appear on V-8 and V-12 cars

There was a Fiat built Dino that was a front engine rear drive car that predates the 246 GT. I don't recall what it was called and I have only ever seen one at a local Italian Concorso held in Alameda.
