Morris Frye's Ferrari license plate from John Hughes' classic comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) convinced his best friend, Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck), to "borrow" his dad's prized Ferrari for a joyride around Chicago.

Four custom plates were made by production for the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California (a modified MG sports vehicle), with this metal plate created for the climactic sequence where the car crashes through Mr. Frye's window. Following production, it entered the private collection of one of the property masters.

Designed to resemble an actual legal state plate, this plate is painted white with "Illinois" and "Land of Lincoln" decals applied on front, Dec. 1986 registration tags applied to both corners, and "NRVOUS" printed in raised blue lettering at center. It comes screwed into a steel frame from production. The plate exhibits rusting on the reverse, tearing to the decals, and scratched paint from being applied to and removed from the vehicle. Dimensions: 12" x 6.25" x 0.5" (30.5 cm x 16 cm x 1.5 cm)

Estimate: $40,000 - 80,000
