Paul O'Shea, Bruce Kessler and David Cunningham drove this NART Ferrari 250 GT LWB at Sebring in 1958.  They finished 5th overall.  1958 was the very first year for the North American Racing Team which was created by Luigi Chinetti with the financial backing of wealthy racers George Arents and Jan de Vroom.  The car you see in this photo was the very first international entry at a race for NART.  It was the beginning of a long history of racing for the legendary North American Racing Team.
