“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” would be just another teenage comedy if it wasn’t for the gorgeous 1961 Ferrari convertible. Based on the regular 250 Convertible, Enzo Ferrari introduced a special version called GT California Spider. It featured a racing engine in a gorgeous open-top package. Offered until 1960, only about 55 cars left the factory in Italy (via Collier Auto Media).

However, such a rare and expensive car was not used in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”  In fact, the seductive fiberglass body of the Ferrari 250 California Spider Replica was put on a 1980 Corvette frame. That made it look almost like a classic Ferrari.
