    That rare thing - a genuine designer, not just a stylist.

    I'd vote for the 1970s Fiat 130 Coupé as the perfect example of his work - utterly tasteful, utterly restrained, not a line out of place and yet has jaw-dropping presence when you see one on the road.

    The 250 in Ferris' Bueller's day off was a 250 GT Spider California which was not designed by Pininfarina. The 250 GT California SWB in FBDO was designed and built by Scaglietti. The 250 designed by Pininfarina was the 250 GT Coupe Pininfarina which looked like this:

    RIP a wonderful automobile designer!

    I do miss my 69 Alfa Romeo Spider, it was darn sweet, but I liked my 63 Alfa Romeo Spider a lot more and I really do miss it.
