pilou ◊ 2008-01-04 16:33	I am puzzled by this one .I wonder if this could be a styling exercise of Franco Scaglione of Bertone , because it somewhat ressembles the Alfa Romeo Bats berlinettas Aerodynamica Technica B 5 1953 and B 7 1954.Anyhow a mockup and not a real model here.Does anyone know ?

BAT5 but dropped on BAT7) looks to be bonded together or the glass was formed, a technique from later than the 1950s I believe. Some of the features look to be more a styling exercise and look odd from an aerodynamic viewpoint. To me the automobile show looks to date from the late 1960s or 1970s. I would guess this is an American styling exercise from some of the details. -- Last edit: 2008-01-04 19:30:53
