Sergio Scaglietti, who died at the age of 91 on November 20, was the son of a carpenter who became Ferrari’s body stylist par excellence. Today, the cars he fashioned by hand in the ’50s and ’60s are worth tens of millions of dollars each.
Scaglietti was a painfully modest man who, after being feted by an admiring crowd at the Pebble Beach Concours in the early ’90s, told his sophisticated audience, “I just did my job.” This is the man who shaped such masterpieces as the 1958 Ferrari Testa Rossa and Ingrid Bergman’s 375 MM, built the 250 GTO and many other Ferrari racing cars including sports prototypes.
