    Any other hints? Was this a Pf-bodied Ferrari, or perhaps some other make? What part of it reminded you of the Corvette?

    This afternoon had in the hands an old book ( The history of Pinin Farina ) for sale in a bookstore here in Turin and noted a B/W picture of a cabriolet similar to a Corvette of 5-8 years ago.

    if i remember correctly it looked like a 53vette in overall appearence. it wasnt an f-car.

    also i remember reading in the article that the pf car came out a few years before the vette did.

    Have actually re-checked the book, it was a Pininfarina prototype of a Jaguar XJ-S displayed at 1978 Birmingham Auto Show.
