In this episode of The Ferrari Marketplace Podcast, host William Ross interviews Chris Miele of Prancing Horse of Nashville (Ferrari of Nashville) about his lifelong passion for Ferraris, from attending Ferrari Club of America Nationals as a kid in New Jersey to serving as a Marine scout sniper in Hawaii while obsessively reading car magazines. Miele explains how he entered the auto business through Mercedes-Benz, gained early Ferrari dealership experience in Hawaii, helped launch a New Jersey Ferrari dealership in 2004, and witnessed key model eras, calling the 360 a major game changer. He discusses how Ferrari options and tailor-made evolved, the importance of deep product knowledge and Ferrari Academy training, and how Nashville was chosen to fill a regional market gap. He outlines the dealership’s ownership group, unique atelier features, Classiche work, restoration and concours projects, events, storage services, and the strategy behind sourcing rare inventory.
