Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Barrett-Jackson - Pininfarina Rondine

[LS (lashdeep]

Gents, there were many one off Italian custom bodies on American running gear. 

This one, a Pininfarina penned Caddie for Jackie O.,  makes me tingle:

Subject: [Ferrari] Barrett-Jackson - Pininfarina Rondine

        Yeah, too much American muscle at BJ this year, but did you see 
the Pininfarina Rondine concept car that sold Saturday night?  Holy smokes, 
what a beautiful car!  Based on a '63 Corvette chassis and commissioned by 
GM for the Paris Auto Show.  Fantastic, classic early-'60s styling in a 
very tasteful seafoam blue/green.
        Nobody can lay down graceful lines like the Italians: Pininfarina, 
Turin, Ghia, etc.  Too bad modern rollover regulations don't allow the 
thin, graceful roof pillars of yesteryear.
        Sold for $1.6 million.  If I had some mega-big dough, I'd be 
asking Pininfarina to duplicate the car on a modern Corvette or 612 
chassis.  Yum!
        A quick Google search of "pininfarina rondine" will find multiple 
pictures of the car.  Pronounced ron-di-nay, means "swallow" in Italian.
