DonW Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I too thought it was a Pininfarina design but then got the idea it was a Michelotti styled car. Either way I never got close to what or when. Interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I never got close to what or when. Interesting! The rear quarter design reminded me of the '60 Pininfarina-styled Ferrari California Spyder, and initially I thought this one might have been a job for Ford because of its "face". Image-searched "Ford Pininfarina showcars" or some such, got zip. Searched "GM Pininfarina showcars" or something similar, there it was towards the bottom of the first page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I lucked out and was reading about it on Mac's Motor City Garage that same day. It didn't look to much like contemporary Buicks, but it is defintiely a forecast of American design in the next decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
