The third and final installment of our Pininfarina series deals with the 1970s.

But we’d like your opinion…of the three decades of Pininfarina, what is your favorite and why? Comment below…

Wyss: Into the 1970s Pininfarina continued to wow the design world with unique solutions to new packaging problems. Sometimes, and very boldly so, they went way beyond what was practical, such as the incomparable Modulo, built out of Ferrari race car bits.

Pininfarina in the 1960s by Mark Stehrenberger

Wallace Wyss and the Editor continue to assess Pininfarina’s work through the 1960s via the posters of Mark Stehrenberger. The separation of the works of PF by year and highlighting various models gives us a unique opportunity to look back on the history of the firm and of Italian post-war design through 1970. This week, the sixties, next, the 1970s.

Wyss: In the ’60s Pininfarina did designs that stand well the test of time. In fact, some think the Ferrari 250 GT Lusso is the most beautiful road Ferrari of all time (if you consider race cars, though, you would have it up against the incomparable P3/4).
