Book : Pininfarina Cinquantanni

A very nice book I recently purchased. I can't believe it took me this long to discover and buy it. The trigger was due to a roadtrip with my Fiat 130 Coupe to Italy to attend the 50th anniversary meeting in Milan. For this trip I had spend some additional days in Turin and visited the Pininfarina museum at their headquarters in Cambiano. But additional I arranged a meet up with designer Paolo Martin at the Pininfarina Windtunnel in Grugliasco. At this meet up I had some retrospective photo's taken based on historical photo's with Sergio Pininfarina, Renzo Carli and the Fiat 130 Coupe. Furthermore I also went to the restaurant in Tortana where Pininfarina in 1951 made the partnership deal with Enzo Ferrari. Due to all of this I stumbled upon this book. Although I haven't read it yet it did contain much uniqe and beautiful (of course) photographic material. I was very happpy to see some 400 pictures regarding the build up in their factory. Find them hereby enclosed.
