(Why do 1/4 of 1960s cars have Fiat-inspired tail lights?)

It’s a very 50’s Italian thing. Even the MGB got them, as a result of Pininfarina consulting.

Seriously? I just made a joke about the steering wheel button! That doesn't count.

Kind of a nice shape (oh.. Bertone, uh huh) although those blunt headlights are a bit odd. Nice greenhouse. Corvette V8! Big widened Dunlop wheels maybe. I like it! Thanks for the education!

Being from Europe has a slight advantage, Alfa Romeo Giulia. These were superb cars but rare in UK as they were expensive. I always like the shape and the 4 pot motor was glorious!

Great reminder, thanks!
