Ferrari 500/625 Argentine Grand Prix - 1954 & 1955 Gonzalez #12

Hi
Does anyone have any info on the colour scheme used for the above cars in the races mentioned?
Were they red with yellow bonnet or blue with yellow bonnet (ie: Argentina Racing Colours)?
Thanks

My Dinky toy 500 was Blue with Yellow nose? I don't recall ever seeing
color pictures of the actual car though.

Hi Liscia

Yes the Dinky car yellow nose with blue body was because it was easier to produce a yellow nose on the mass-produced model than put a yellow bonnet on it - a more complicated (& therefore expensive) process. It was not accurate at all.
Thanks for you contrubution.
