answered. In the early 1980s California entrepreneurs Neil
Glassmoyer and Mark Goyett founded Modena Design and Development in
El Cajon to manufacture the Modena Spyder California, a Ferrari 250
GT Spyder-based sports car that far exceeded the quality and finish
of other independent offerings of the time. An early mention of the
new creation in a car magazine drew the attention of Hollywood
director John Hughes, who was in the planning stages of making
Ferris Bueller's Day Off, in which a valuable sports car would have
a pivotal role. Neil Glassmoyer recalls the day Hughes contacted
him to ask about seeing the Modena Spyder. "The first time he
called I hung up on him because I thought it was a friend of mine
who was given to practical jokes. Then he called back and convinced
me it really was him, so Mark and I took the car to his office.
While we were waiting outside to meet Hughes this scruffy-looking
fellow came out of the building and began looking the car over; we
thought from his appearance he must have been a janitor or
something. Then he looked up at a window and shouted, �This is it!'
and several heads poked out to have a look. That scruffy-looking
fellow was John Hughes, and the people in the window were his
staff. Turned out it was between the Modena Spyder and a Porsche
Turbo, and Hughes chose the Modena."

"The Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California's name was most appropriate,
for the man ordering it was Ferrari's influential dealer in
Southern California, Johnny von Neumann. "He asked us for a simple
spyder," said Girolamo Gardini, Ferrari's sales manager from 1948
to 1961. Von Neumann and the rest of the Ferrari world got that and
a lot more. The Ferrari Spyder California quickly became one of the
ultimate "dual-purpose" cars, machines equally at home on street
and track. Such versatility underscored an integral part of the
Ferrari 250 legend: the firm's ability to make a range of products
with the same mechanicals but divergent "personalities." The
Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California was available with lightweight
aluminum coachwork or a steel body. Its chassis, suspension, and
drivetrain came from the Ferrari 250 Tour de France sports racer,
which itself was nearly identical to the other 250s offered at the
time. While the Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California looked quite
similar to the Series I Cabriolet, its interior appointments were
considerably more spartan, reflecting its competition orientation."
