I don’t know how many people are aware that there are prancing horse ceramic tiles made in Italy specifically for the Ferrari factory. A good number, I assume. I got mine from Hilary Raab back in 2000. Then my neighbor Dave Rex happened to mention that he had a few, still in the original box. And when I asked AutoMobilia Editor Marshall Buck about these beautiful black and yellow tiles, he said he had one too! But all of us wanted to know more about them.
