Since I will be posting more of what I like here, look for more of this!

I mentioned the other day that I will be posting more about things that I like here, and one thing I like is CARS! So I am reposting this here, from my Facebook page. More of this here, less of it there.

This post is about the art of Italian design, esp. in the late 1960s/early 1970s. When the American Muscle Car peaked in the early 1970s, even the Italians made muscle car-looking cars, and theirs were gorgeous! 

One of the Alfa Romeo Montreals (first picture) just sold for $176,000! (See second link for a story on it.) 

In the second picture, look at the
 car on the back line: That's a Fiat Dino Coupe, another classic Italian 'Muscle Car' from the same era, and just as collectible: it was powered by the same V-6 engine from Ferrari that was in the original Ferrari Dino.

Just sharing a bit of gorgeous Italian art. Enjoy!
