I wish notifications for this thread didn't drop on me so often. ANYWAY, my favorite Bertone doorstop is... Image Unavailable, Please Login ... my first Italian car, a '74 FIAT X1/9. I took that car on a vacation from San Antonio to San Fransisco and back the summer of '76, and it was perfectly reliable. I like the design of my latest vehicle, an '18 Ford Raptor. Just got it a few weeks ago. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Somewhere along the line they ditched the 'flying saucer' reception desk from 1956. They just reinstalled it several yrs ago. Kinda wacky, but part of the original Saarinen design. That Mid Century look.....

Image Unavailable, Please Login That photo was taken some time ago. We still wore suits, shirts & ties. Now the ‘uniform is jeans, sport-coat w/shirt or sweater. Regular designers, turtleneck/shirt w/jeans. Europeans, the obligatory scarf & jeans. My how times have changed. Harley Earl & Bill Mitchell wouldn’t recognize the place.

John Z Delorean 2 seater Pontiac sports car for $2500. The 'bean counters' were not amused... The car looks like a miniature 1968 Corvette convertible.

A 'wide track' model of sorts with the tires pushed out fully into the wheel wells to.
