Frank Sinatra – the icon of icons
Frank Sinatra is one of the most legendary figures in American history.
Known as ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ and the ‘Chairman of the Board’, Sinatra is revered as one of the most popular figures of the entire 20th century.
Born in 1915, the son of Italian immigrants, Sinatra forged two incredibly successful careers during his life.
In the 1940s, Frank Sinatra quickly started becoming a star in the music industry, recording several albums during his life, and becoming one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

At the same time, Sinatra forged an unbelievably successful acting career.
He won a Golden Globe award for his role in Pal Joey back in 1957 and a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for From Here to Eternity in1953.
‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ speaks his mind on Lamborghini and Ferrari
Outside of his incredible entertainment career, Frank Sinatra was known for another passion.
The passion in question, in case you haven’t guessed, was cars.
For his 54th birthday, the icon decided to treat himself to a special present – a Lamborghini Miura.

When it comes to 60’s GT cars, it’s a pretty difficult choice to beat.
But why didn’t Sinatra go for Lamborghini’s Italian rival – Ferrari?
Well, the legend reportedly addressed that very issue head-on.
He didn’t exactly hold back in his opinion of the two brands, either.
“You buy a Ferrari when you want to be someone. You buy a Lamborghini when you ARE someone,” he supposedly said.
It’s certainly a strong opinion – but also not the most unfair one, either.
