The story of Giallo My Swallow
Giallo My Swallow belongs to the racehorse-named Pininfarina range of the early 1970s. The 330 GT Registry reproduces an Italver chip set for Pininfarina cars in which it appears as 95.3.2643 Giallo My Swallow, with names the registry says imply the 365 series. The Ferrari 400 blog lists the same code in the standard range of 18 colors carried over from the 365 GTC/4 and seen on order documents into early 1978, and notes that the yellow seems to have been dropped at some point, since other paint books show only 17 samples. My Swallow was an Irish-bred, British-trained racehorse who ran from May 1970 to July 1971. ROSSOautomobili shows the color revived on an SF90 Stradale from a Tailor Made Ispirazioni configuration.
