Art Center Car Classic 2013:
Sunday, October 27th Pasadena California
 |
| Scott Grundfor Company’s addition to the fabulous roster of cars on display over the weekend was the 1983 Ford/Ghia Barchetta one-off concept vehicle. This concept car, designed by Ghia for Ford Motor Company, was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show garnered rave reviews everywhere it was shown. The Barchetta had a major impact on many designs that followed, such as the Miata, showing the industry that there was still a strong demand for affordable, fun vehicles, re-opening that market segment. |

A couple car lengths from that was the debut of the finally finished Peter Mullin Bugatti Type 64, a spectacular re-imagining of Jean Bugatti’s unfinished final car done by Art Center students and Transportation Design chair Stewart Reed.
