First I want to thank the members of Forum43 for sharing your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm as you guys have helped me get "up to speed" in this hobby since I returned to it about 2 years ago (following about a 58 year lay off). I'm already straddling the fine line between hobby and addiction - the models are such a visual treat - but I think I've got it under control (my wife may think otherwise). My question is: I purchased this fine 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Cabriolet from Ilario and then noticed the cartoon-like logo or badging where a prancing horse should be and I am wondering what it is in reference to? Thanks.

Roger, why don't you ask Ilario himself? He is very friendly.

Playing around with google the closest I came up with is a cowboy actor Lash Larue who died in 96.
