The Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Pinin Farina, occasionally referred to as the 250 GTC, is a prestige sports car developed by the Italian carmaker Ferrari. A "cabriolet" version of the 250 GT sedan, it was designed by Pinin Farina of Turin; it was also bodied by him - an exception for Ferrari, since another coachbuilder, Scaglietti, usually did the work.
Produced from July 1957 to the end of 1962, the 250 GT Cabriolet was Ferrari's first mass-produced cabriolet. Initially, only a small volume of around thirty models was assembled. Identified by the designation "first series" (in Italian, prima serie), these Ferraris gave way in July 1959 to a second version with a corrected design ("second series", in Italian seconda serie), which sold around 200 units, despite being the most expensive Ferrari 250 GT[1] at the time.
