Jay Leno drove his sleek, crisply delineated Monteverdi HighSpeed 375S in to the San Marino Motor Classic 2024. Christine notices that a handful of the most exciting car designs this day, including Jay's Fissore bodied beauty, happen to be burgundy, and noting the colorful coincidence has assembled this Design Traverse of car body design by Fissore, Fagani et Falaschi, (both Delahaye and Talbot-Lago shown by the Petersen Automotive Museum, the lipstick shades of Joseph Urban's paint scheme for Ruxtons, such as what The Nethercutt Collection exhibited, a lowered Mercury, a Packard and a super cool custom Lancia B202 by Thornley-Kelham, round out the burgundy bouquet.
The inspiration on a theme such as the color maroon, finds a symbolic island where a small club is easily identified from afar. These selected objects of design and restoration, each feature thousands of nuances that their owners and restorers pore over. It is no small task to restore to original, or, with resourceful creativity, to build something totally new which integrates previous design work - perhaps the toughest challenge of all. Good design is largely not subjective nor determined by polls, it DOES feature objectives of harmony, balance, unified vision/consistent language, intuitive and resourceful utility/cleverness and effectiveness with quality as a starting point.
