Ferrari Mailing List: Re: New 430 "futures"

[Charles Perry (charles]

The Ferrari Prugna was more like eggplant, too, except with a little
more brown in it. Some friends of mine (and former Listers) Ian and
Claudia Poertner had a Prugna 328 for a while, so it wasn't a one-time
color. It was nice looking, and as a used car, if you buy it cheaper and
sell it cheaper you have no net difference for a weird color. Only the
original purchaser suffers the sting of not getting resale red.

In the late 70's, Playboy did an article on the then new 308 GTS.
Color? 
Pruna.  That's purple.  Only article Ferrari article I've seen in
Playboy - only time I saw a purple Ferrari.  Not bad, not bad - you just
have to like purple.  Porsche did Aubergine - French for egg plant.  One
year only - 1972.
