The 410 Superamerica was first introduced in 1955. It was aimed at an elite clientele seeking maximum performance combined with uncompromising luxury. The Series III, introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October 1958, was the final evolution of this model, marking the pinnacle of the development of the Lampredi "long block" V12 engine in a road car. It was produced for a very short period, until June 1959, before being replaced by the 400 Superamerica.
The only 12 units produced were all built by Pinin Farina and sold to an extremely small and wealthy target, consisting of business magnates, celebrities and important collectors.
This car was sold to Bill Harrah, the Reno gambling magnate and auto collector. The car was repainted red, converted to a single disc clutch and disc brakes. Harrah tested the incredible high speed cruising ability driving the car from Reno to Las Vegas (around 680km) in three hours forty-five minutes, counting fuel and refreshment stops.
