    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.

    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.
