Ferris Bueller ‘Ferrari’ Gets its Day
March 1, 2018
The replica 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California from the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is among five special vehicles set to be featured as part of the Historic Vehicle Association’s (HVA) fourth annual Cars at the Capital exhibition during the month of April.
The replica Ferrari will be joined by the 15-millionth Ford, a 1927 Ford Model T; a 1984 Plymouth Voyager Minivan, known as the first minivan; the 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback from the movie Bullitt; and a 1918 Cadillac Type 57. The vehicles, respectively, are the 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 21st, and 4th vehicles to have been added to the National Historic Vehicle Register in recognition of their significance in American automotive history.
The exhibition and documentation are part of the HVA’s partnership with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) and Library of Congress archives.
Each vehicle will be exhibited in the HVA’s illuminated glass display case on the walkway between the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and the National Gallery of Art facing the U.S. Capitol building on the National Mall. The exhibition will run from March 30 to April 30 and is free to the public.
The display schedule is as follows:
- March 30-April 2-”1985 Modena Spyder, aka Ferris Bueller’s Day Off “Ferrari”
- April 3-9-”1927 Ford Model T Touring, aka 15-millionth Ford
- April 10-16-”1984 Plymouth Voyager, aka the first minivan
- April 17-23-”1968 Ford Mustang Fastback from Bullitt
- April 24-30-”1918 Cadillac Type 57
“These cars are some of the most important automotive and cultural examples that reflect the early days of our American automotive history as well the role automobiles have played in film history,” said Mark Gessler, president of the Historic Vehicle Association. “They all tell a uniquely American story and reflect the broad impact the automobile has had on our culture.”
1985 Modena Spyder California
One of the most memorable cars from the 1980s, the Ferris Bueller “Ferrari” has captivated Gen Xers and Millennials since it rolled out of Cameron’s dad’s midcentury modern garage in 1986. Neil Glassmoyer and Mark Goyette of Modena Design and Development modeled the car off of a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California and were called upon personally by director John Hughes to build this car and two others for the movie.
1927 Ford Model T
The impact of the Ford Model T on American history is undisputed. This touring car, with hand stamped VIN 15000000, marked the end of Tin Lizzy’s almost 19-year production run that totaled over 15 million Fords. On May 26, 1927, Edsel and Henry Ford drove it out of the Highland Park Plant to commemorate the end of Model T production. It wasn’t until 1972 that the Model T’s production figure was bested by the Volkswagen Beetle.
1984 Plymouth Voyager
Hailed as revolutionary by virtually every news outlet upon its introduction in late 1983, the Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan disrupted the automotive industry in a huge way. Lee Iacocca, the mastermind of the minivan era, presented this 12,000-mile unrestored Voyager at the assembly line in Windsor, Canada on Nov. 2, 1983.
1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
The Highland Green Mustang piloted by legendary car enthusiast and actor Steve McQueen through the streets of San Francisco in the visceral cops-and-mobsters flick Bullitt has become an indelible part of international car culture. By the 1980s though, the car was thought to have vanished. It wasn’t until this year that the car was finally shown to the world again by the Kiernan family, who have owned it since 1974. Featuring rich patina from a life well lived, the big block Mustang is unrestored and retains many of its modifications from filming for the movie.
1918 Cadillac Type 57
Before the Jeep became the standardized and ubiquitous military vehicle, the U.S. military tried a little of everything. WWI saw an interesting mishmash of cars on the battlefield, but it was the Cadillac Type 57 that was predominantly favored by officers. This example, carrying the military designation U.S. 1257X, is the only known survivor and remains in remarkable unrestored condition. It was brought to France and placed in the service of the American Expeditionary Forces by a Y.M.C.A volunteer, Rev. Dr. J. H. Denison and was driven throughout France to set up leave areas. One of its many passengers was Eleanor Roosevelt, President Theodore Roosevelt’s daughter-in-law, who was charged with leading women serving the war effort with the Y.M.C.A.
Cars at the Capital
The 2018 Cars at the Capital exhibition and historic documentation program has been underwritten in part through the support from Shell, Pennzoil, Hagerty, Ford Motor Co., The Henry Ford Foundation, FCA America, LKQ Corp., American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) and The NB Center for American Automotive Heritage.
The HVA is producing a feature-length documentary about the ‘559 Bullitt Mustang to be released later in 2018. The film will feature exclusive interviews with the Kiernan family, as well as many other people connected with Bullitt, in a definitive telling of the beloved car’s entire mysterious life.
A national tour of the ‘559 Bullitt Mustang is also being organized by the HVA, with dates and locations to be announced in the near future.
