Cody Smith - Ferrari Literature Column

Cody Smith has been an avid collector of Ferrari Literature since he was a kid. The love for Ferrari Literature started with a 250 Testarossa brochure given to him by Harley Cluxton.

Over time, he amassed a nice collection, and in 2010 things changed for Cody when he bought one of the largest Ferrari Literature collections in the country. At that point it was clear, a business had evolved from his passion. ​
Ferrari Literature now attends all three major concours in the US as well as the FCA National Meet. Cody turned his hobby into a business, and is very thankful for all the people he has met along the way.

​Issue #5 May/June 2019

In my last article, I talked about factory Ferrari document pouch sets, their value and scarcity. How they are important for the car’s history and a necessity at Concours when showing your car. 

​In future articles, we will discuss more on this topic. Instead I want to address something that has been troubling me. Over the past several years I have been asking myself when attending major concours events, where are all the young people?
