    ANYWAY, my favorite Bertone doorstop is...

    ... 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. :)

    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.....

    They did an official photo with a real suit and tie instead of black on black with a turtleneck to demonstrate designers were "cool" like at all the auto show PR reveals?

    That photo was taken some time ago. We still wore suits, shirts & ties. :eek:
    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.

    The attire is only one of the items they would lament.

    There's ugly and then there's just crude.
    This looks the loser in a cardboard contest for 10th graders. Appallingly bad -

    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.

    Note the triple style tail lights that Pontiac would also use for the 1966 GTO.
    A 'wide track' model of sorts with the tires pushed out fully into the wheel wells to.
