My last post (on LI) was a re-circ of a cool #MotorTrend piece on the GT prowess of a 1967 #Maserati #Ghibli, designed by an 18-year old Giorgetto #Giugiaro when he was just hitting his stride at #Carrozzeria #Ghia. Consequently this 1969 #Farago CF428, just shown at the #PebbleBeach #Concours D’Elegance #2017 in their special class for one-off #DreamCars, may appear to have common #designDNA. Yet the CF 428, so named for designer Paul Farago and Sergio Coggiola, was penned by Farago when he left Ghia to start Carrozzeria Coggiola, with the CF 428 as their first commission from none other than John DeLorean, then Pontiac’s chief. Farago was involved with the Dual Ghia and later, the Saab Sonett III with Coggiola, while the #DeLorean car design of "Back to the Future" fame is credited to Giugiaro’s ‘folded paper’ phase. The CF 428’s powerful, serene elegance is defined by crisply thin surface transitions contained within large, elegantly simple curves as they cut out a sporting silhouette with boomerang-like tension anchored by its long hood. While more fine-boned than Aston GTs of the era, the CF 428 was prescient of that fresh 70’s appeal - juxtaposing muscle-y sport in finely architected tweed. It was shown by Frank Campanale of Orchard Lake, Michigan. (And of course Pebble Beach is VERY exclusive about the cars they’ll exhibit, only once, if shown exclusively…) #carculture #carphiles #carphotos #cardesign #VirtualMuseumofDesign #VMOD #pebbleconcours2017 #2017Pebble #2017concours #carmuseum #CustomPontiac #conceptcar #prototype
