Thanks Rob!!

 

Thanks for posting. Cool to see.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad they decided on the 6 tail light and 6 tail pipe scheme on the 365 versus the prototype.

 

The BB looks like a Go Kart next to the FF. Thanks for posting.

 

Good day Rob,

Those pics are fantastic! Thank you very much!

Cheers,

Sam

 

Thank Rob, still my favorite car!

 

also thank you rob for the nice pictures
you also have seen other cars of the collection and made pictures? would be great to post them here at fchat
in the first picture I see in the background a fiat 124 spider, modell after 1981

 

great pics, thanks for sharing. always luv the prototype boxer.

some have claim its a non-runner here on fchat.... then why are there keys in the ignition ?

these were taken about 20 years ago when stop by to visit some colleagues... im pretty sure it was a runner. i have some more recent photos taken about 8 years ago somewhere i cant seem to find.

 

for those who has suggested that the prototype was a non-runner, here is the drive train in it.

couldnt figure out how to open the rear deck and being a one off proto, gave up trying. so stuck a camera underneath to capture the best we could.

I was a student at the Art Center College of Design when they showed the BB for the 1st time in the States, in 1973. At the time I thought the 'burlap' seats were pretty cool Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

John thanks for these amazing pics of the car at Art Center. I too am a graduate in Transpiration Design always great to meet other ACCD car designers. I am assuming these pics were taken at the original campus?

 

Yes, on 3rd street, 1973.

If ever a post deserved 50+ likes it is this one!

 

wonderful pics John!

today, i luv those odd burlap seats. they sure did feel weird and im not surprised folks replaced them with leather on the early cars

im trans accd here too... but the lida campus. that almost looks like tom semple with his hands on his hips in sunglasses.

I think we can put the "engine less" debate to rest...



PS you didnt happen to go LA autoshow back in 73 did you? Looking for images taken there of the ital design proto of the esprit.

 

That's not Tom Semple. It's Roger Ross, one of my classmates. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I did go to that show, but unfortunately didn't take any photos....

 

john, those art posters are spectacular. who was the consignment artist?

72 poster... sandwich between the modulo and boomerang, is that suppose to be jerry wiegert's Vehicle Design Force prototype?

 

Barron Storey was the artist.
Yes that was Wiegert's car IIRC, but i'm not positive.
