Wendax made it! Well done!

Not Michelotti's only truck job. He also designed some cabs for Scammell in the early sixties.

The Scammell connection is very well documented, but I can't find anything about the Magirus connection.  How come ? ???

It's only the first paragraph that refers to the truck on the right.

~ prototype of a truck styled by Giovanni Michelotti. The designer usually known for Italian sportscars created a fresh and modern truck, but probably none of the Magirus engineers would have favoured this for a production.

Fresh and modern?

I can't help thinking that the designer must have looked at the Ford F100/F250 (1953 to 56), which was already obsolete by 1958. I'm not surprised the Magirus engineers were not keen..... :-\

I guess what the author meant was Michelotti's proposal in comparison with other Magirus trucks of that era..  :D
Modern times started not until the designs of LL Lepoix for the German truck industry. (Hanomag F55)

A precious information, as the Registro Storico Michelotti doesn't say a word about it.
