Robert Pauley: engineer, photographer, enthusiast, author
Over the years, we have featured the work of Robert F. Pauley. His color photography has graced our newsletter leads, and enhanced many articles. His contributions to VeloceToday began in 2011 when published a series of articles about “Gilda,” the 1955 Ghia showcar designed by the Italian Giovanni Savonuzzi. This prompted an email response from Pauley, who told me a remarkable story about working with the famous designer while both were employed at the Engineering Building in Chrysler’s Headquarters in Highland Park, Michigan. It was the beginning of a long, fruitful relationship.
