Many beautiful cars will be sold to very rich people this week at the Gooding & Company auction at the Amelia Island Concours beginning this Friday.

Now we like the resto-mods and Hemi 'Cudas that seem to headline many auctions these days, but we flat-out love the smattering of Pininfarina-design automobiles that will cross the block at Amelia. This is because Pininfarina has produced the world's most beautiful cars. Nope, we're not hearing any arguments on this matter. It's best just to accept this fact.

As evidence, we offer the 1956 Nash Rambler "Palm Beach" Coupe Special pictured above. (Yes, a Nash Rambler). Four perfect Pininfarina-designed Ferraris move for you after the jump.

Side note: Proof that Pininfarina still has it was on display at last week's Geneva Auto Show. That would be the 2uettottanta, which is perhaps the ugliest study a pretty concept has ever had.

What more can you say about the 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta? Even the Corvette-based repli-car from Miami Vice can't lessen our affection for this quintessential '70s man-mobile. Auction estimate: $250,000 – $325,000.

1968 Ferrari 330 GTS is more beautiful than the more famous 250 GT California Spyder. Discuss. Auction estimate: $650,000 – $800,000.

1985_Ferrari_288GTO_1600.jpg

The 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO so comprehensively blew our minds in the '80s that the mere memory of it has sustained us through countless Aveo/Explorer/Camry reviews over the years. Auction estimate: $550,000 – $650,000.

1965_Ferrari_Superfast_1600.jpg

The 1965 Ferrari 500 Superfast Coupe: What a well-dressed man would drive. This is one of 36 made. Auction estimate: $800,000 – $1 million.
