Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Magazine Covers

[Larry T (l02turner]

Hi Ya'll -
   IMO magazine covers have some of thee greatest automotive art 
published - R&T was mentioned, but Panorama, Forza, Rosso Ferrari, SCI, 
Automobile, 911 & Porsche World, and others.

   I think R&T really  printed some outstanding "artwork".  I bought a 
coffee table book called 50 Years of R&T Art" or something like that - and 
it featured not only covers but some really beautiful inside layouts and 
artwork by artists like Nicholas Watts, Bill Neale, and others.  I wish I 
was better at remembering their names - that one R&T books brings all of 
them together.

   The most memorable R&T cover IMHO was a ('71?) Ford Pantera in front of 
what I believe was an Italian fountain of building front - it had lions and 
all kinds of statues in shades of Blue which really complimented the color & 
shape of the Pantera.

   I also think the Porsche Factory Posters published over the last 60 
years have entered the realm of artwork.  Valued not just for rarity but 
also for content.

   I wish Enzo had been more public focused and had concentrated on using 
public memorabilia to create market familiarity instead of totally race 
oriented - destroying old race cars was one thing I wish he had not done for 
instance, issuing Posters to commemorate wins would have created a lot of 
public interest and support IMHO and given little boys something to tape to 
their bedroom walls (well they were available, just not from the factory), 
along with models, books and other stuff to celebrate various wins.

   But that's just me -

Take care -
LarryT
