Lancia Aurelia PF200 by Pininfarina, 1954

Yes! Very good.
It is quite something for a 1954 design.

The front end of these cars are very ugly in my opinion, and the other coupe with the side windows rather than butresses looks a lot better. From that strange time when Italian stylists seemed to be mimicking american design rather unsuccessfully!

Post by: Carnut on August 28, 2010, 09:26:15 AM: Yes; this was a fairly early example of the buttresses which PF experimented with a lot on one-off Ferraris etc in the mid 1950's, and of course which went on to be used so successfully on the Dino 246GT; after that they became much more conventional.
