The Ferrari 250 250 GT LWB California Spider was built from 1957 to 1960.
The 250 GT LWB California Spider Standard, the most traded version: The long-wheelbase California Spyder launched Ferrari's open-top GT legacy, combining Pininfarina's elegant design with Scaglietti's masterful coachwork. Built on the 250 GT platform from 1957-1960, only 50 examples were produced, making it one of Ferrari's rarest road cars. The 3.0-liter Colombo V12 produced 240 horsepower, delivering spirited performance wrapped in timeless Italian style. These early Californias featured covered headlights and a distinctive grille design that would influence Ferrari styling for decades. Originally intended for Ferrari's wealthy American clientele, the LWB California has become a blue-chip collector car, with concours-quality examples commanding $15-20 million. The combination of Pininfarina design, Scaglietti craftsmanship, and extreme rarity makes the LWB California one of the most desirable open Ferraris ever built, representing the golden age of Italian automotive artistry.
