Bill Devin's Early Ferraris
| "I picked up this 12 Cylinder Ferrari in New York and drove it home. I made a stop at Bergstrom AFB, TX. near Austin and entered the car in an SCCA National race. Once home in California, I sold the car to Masten Gregory." |

| "This Ferari was Road & Track's cover car for July 1955. Although an attractive girl appeared with the car on the cover, I had asked Carlyle Blackwell (the photographer) if he wouldn't mind taking one with me standing next to it. This same car was driven by Phil Hill and myself at I believe the Maderia Race Meet in 1953. I held my own in the event I had raced, but Phil took a first in the Main Event." |

| "Ernie McAfee had never raced before so I let him drive my 2.6 Ltr. 212 Vignale coupe to a victory in the Novice Race. In the main event, I took a third place behind Howard Wheeler's second place (Phil Hill's old 2.6 Ferrari Touring roadster) and Jack McAfee's first place (4.1 Ferrari Touring roadster.) It was my first big-car race after driving the Crosley." |
