Linea Diamante by Giò Ponti built 2018 (c1953)
the famous Italian architect designed this car and made a 1:10 scale model in the hope of producing it. he approached Carrozzeria Touring planning to have a prototype built on an Alfa Romeo 1900 chassis but they weren’t interested. next he went to Fiat who also turned the project down. 65 years later FCA Heritage director Roberto Giolito had a full-size model built for the Grand Basel classic car show. Pirelli even provided period early 1950s tyres to the correct Alfa Romeo 1900 specification.

Designed in 1953, looks like 1963
