Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green? How does posi-trak on a Plymouth work?

You can draw the whole thing with 3 lines. Evocative, yet simple, organic, and balanced. That's great design.

Because it is, as well as the SWB California..

Because it's a classic yellow Fezza that was not styled in a wind tunnel.

I just bought this in bbr 1:43 and it came as the wrong model, the side vents are chromed, and the rear roof scoop is missing. Seriously bummed seeing this photo.

Because Pinin Farina was God.

When I was a teenager I used to have a Ferrari advert on my wall. It showed a side view of a 308, very dimly lit with a spotlight, so all you could see against the black background was a single line of light reflecting off the fender edge and roofline. The text was simply "La Linea Pininfarina". God it was gorgeous. I've been a Ferrari fan since the moment I saw it, Magnum PI and wanker owners notwithstanding. And I was well into my 20s before I found out that the 308 wasn't even close to his best effort.

I think it looks better in streets and in traffic than it does alone on a racetrack... This may be the most beautiful car... IN THE WORLD

Now I've been reminded of it, I recreated it. Badly, but that's because I'm not Pininfarina.

awwww, that sucks...luckily you can blame the fact that it's a 1:43. Those things are rarely accurate!

Ferrari purist might hang me for this, but the California looks so much better in black than red. (dons flamesuit)

Like DrJohannVegas says down below, 3 simple lines. Fender, haunch, roofline. And drop the mike. Man knew what he was doing.
