The Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California was created in 1957 on the 250 GT long wheelbase chassis. An open sports car version of the successful Tour de France competition car, it was produced with the encouragement of Luigi Chinetti and Johnny von Neumann with their American markets in mind. The improved short wheel-base version was built from 1960-1963, though only about 55 SWB California were produced in total. The details of the 3-litre V-12 engine evolved throughout the years of production, but he chassis was completely revised in the short wheelbase cars. Both the LWB and the SWB were designed for high-performance Grand Touring, yet only the long wheelbase version saw significant competition in the US as well as in Europe.
