    Aldo Brovarone, with whom i have the pleasure to share something during the Turin elegance concourses, designed 3 coupès and 1 spider "Volo radente" for the 1953 Turin motor show. I know the 3 coupès are still in existance.

    It's like a miniature 250 SWB. I love it! :)

    look at it this way...at $135/hr for labor, you pay for the labor and the car is free!

    Beautiful cars that deserve recognition. The Cisitalia was the first car to be in the museum of modern art, well deserved. I really like the spyders.

    Not Guggenheim, MoMA. The Cisitalia is the one I saw and is pictured below. Along with a Vincent Black Shadow.

    Actually it looks like they had an exhibition with a few cars, Cisitalia, XK-E, VW, Jeep, SmartCar,... 1990 F1 Ferrari 641/2. I think the F1 car is hanging on a wall somewhere in the museum.
