Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Styling opinion

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Agree that all of the design houses had winners and loser - some
with more than one than the other.

A year or so ago, I visited many of the various designers.  They *all*
are on hard times.  Zagato appeared to only have one car in process,
the Ferrari 575.  Their showroom had the car under wraps and I
didn't get to see it ---- there.  Later I saw it in the fab shop that had
been subcontracted to build it.  I think it was at Golden Car, but
a few too many Morettis may have fogged up that memory cell a bit.

Andrea Zagato really got the attention of the ladies.  Sort of an
Italian Ferrari Bubba?

Attached (if I can size it correctly) is a pic of Zagato's showroom.

Hans.
