Who designed the early 60s Ferrari 500 Superfast?  Loved the
dimensions - long and swoopy.(is that a word?) ;-)

Hello Friends,

As we continue to talk about cars (bit of a change that) I find
myself
thinking about the great design houses.  Here's my three sentence
summation.

Pininfarina - The ultimate curvaceous feminine designs


I think one of the houses that is best tuned in to what is wanted,
or is it,
they are just best at defining what the standard is, and everyone
wants
there stuff. ;-)



Bertone - Uber-high tech, angular, beautiful, modernistic designs


Looked really modern and almost space age, 30-40 years ago, but
they seem to
be caught in  a trap and can't escape it.  With more and more
sharp edges
showing up today, maybe we'll see more from them.



Zagato - Ugly ideas ranging from sausage to jellybean designs -
okay,
except perhaps for the A-Ms.


Putting your stamp on something is one thing, but I can't think of
a design
how, where every car they crank out looks the same! eg, that one
off
Maranello. Looks like someone just stuck an air hose up the
tailpipe of an
old DBGT.  Nothing wrong with the style, but they're very much,
see one,
seem that all.  To my eye anyway.



Please share your opinions - about the designs, not my opinions.
:-P
What other design houses do you admire?

I'm just trying to think of a few, Park Ward, Mulliner, Frua,
Fisher, that
guy Butzi did some nice stuff with those VW. hee hee.
