fram

the older ferraris with two standing up proud above the front of the motor. fiamm makes filters?

i am thinking that ferrari had a deal with fram for money paid to them if they used fram filters. they had such a deal with goodyear(?) i think on the tires. may have been another brand. i am thinking sixties and perhaps seventies.

i remember reading about some ferrari guys losing races cause the factory had a deal for the tires and were obligated to run such and such a brand cause the old man was getting money to put them on the cars.

i think maybe they also used die hard batterys for a while too. not sure.
