Ferrari 250 GT Interim - 1959

Later examples of Ferrari's 250 GT Tour de France were given updated front-ends that would be continued in the model's successor the 250 GT SWB, though the 1950s tail-fins of the TDF were dropped in favour of a 'fastback' coupe rear. At the end of 1959, while ushering in the new model, the final seven long wheelbase TDFs were given a new rear-end with no fins, testing out the design of the 250SWB and showcasing the transition into the new design principle, while using the traditional chassis. As such, they were given the 250 GT Interim moniker.

The Interim bridged the gap between the 250TDF with the tail-fin rear, below left, and the fastback 250SWB, below right. Interims are slightly longer than the latter and distinguishable by the rear quarter-light behind the side windows.
