One-off 1954 Pinin Farina Coupé Speciale · chassis 0456AM · photographed with Bergman and Rossellini at the Paris motor show on October 7, 1954 · specialist record says Bergman never took delivery

Ferrari’s own design history identifies this one-off 375 MM Pinin Farina berlinetta as a 1954 commission by film director Roberto Rossellini for actor Ingrid Bergman. That supports a commission made for her, not a leap to personal ownership. A specialist chassis history says Bergman never took delivery and that Rossellini briefly owned the car; Joyride therefore leaves both delivery and Bergman’s legal title unproven.

The individual car is chassis 0456AM, a Pinin Farina Coupé Speciale displayed at the 1954 Paris motor show. A public-domain photograph dated October 7 shows Bergman and Rossellini beside that exact car on the show floor. The photograph is separate from the credited 1941 identification portrait and is not a generic 375 MM, a replica or a generated reconstruction.

The car’s pale finish became part of Ferrari’s design vocabulary. Ferrari calls the color Grigio Ingrid and says it was later available for other cars, while using the one-off as historical context for the GTC4Lusso. That color story is documented; a present owner, current custody, complete 375 MM family coverage, road-car equivalence or a compatible Joyride driving entry is not.

Documented custody

Where the car went next

  1. 1954A one-off commissioned for Bergman

    Ferrari records Roberto Rossellini’s commission of the Pinin Farina 375 MM berlinetta for Ingrid Bergman.

  2. October 7, 1954At the Paris motor show

    A surviving photograph shows Bergman and Rossellini beside chassis 0456AM on the show floor.

  3. After the showDelivery remains unresolved

    Specialist chassis research says Bergman did not take delivery and Rossellini briefly owned the car; Joyride does not rewrite a commission as ownership.

  4. Later Ferrari paletteGrigio Ingrid outlived the commission

    Ferrari says the bespoke gray associated with the one-off was later offered for other cars as Grigio Ingrid.
