The entire greenhouse (incl'g front & back windshields) came from an Intermeccanica Italia Coupe. He modified the C-pillars to add side windows behind the door windows for a lighter look which I...

I love it as a concept and I'm assuming you're posting it because you're looking for feedback...

The curved character line in the tops of the rear fenders is elegant and beautiful - kind of...

All I can say is "WOW" - Very Slick!

Thanks for the compliment.

I'm an automotive engineer with a keen eye for design, and you would not be the first artist to design a car so it looks right and then tell the engineers to go figure...

Is it real? I did a cursory search on the web and could not find any pictures of the A.I.S.V. Zlatko, though I believe that there is such a car - I just question if this is a picture of any real...

Interesting how you turned the front wheel/tire in your chop.

A lot of design elements are subjective (i.e. there's no 'right' way or 'wrong' way when it comes to many of the design elements) - so...

If I showed YOU the same respect as I showed MrDetroitMetal, you'd think I was a genius,
(but then everyone else would think I was nuts).

LOVE the Martini stripes! - They've always been one of my favorite race car color themes since the '60's...

Nice job changing out the wheels too... but why leave the license plate?

Geez, I had to slog through a lot of mouthin' off from both sides to read through this thread. I'm new to this website, so I'm unfamiliar with Mr.DetroitMetal's previous work, but I gotta say that I...

With all due respect to henk4, please allow me to correct an error before it gets repeated…

Thank you for your kind words.



& Thank YOU for photographing the Italia and sharing your pics with us! This owner has certainly done a great job restoring it! I love the glass over the...

I've done 4 or 5 posts this week, (but I joined maybe five months ago without posting much previously, so I'm still quite a novice). I'm flattered that someone wants to hear more from me. Michigan...

Me too! - You might consider a Euro-American Hybrid like an Intermeccanica Italia, an Iso Rivolta, a Bizzarini Strada, etc... You get the best of both worlds - a stunningly beautiful, handbuilt...

Wow! - Nice work, McReis, identifying all those cars. I get the feeling that if you were blindfolded, you could still identify cars by smelling the exhaust fumes.

My first thought on seeing all...

I agree with you that it's a matter of taste, and I agree with your taste - I'd prefer it if the wheels had a deeper dish to them. Many cars in the '60's had some dish to the wheels (especially...

The two 'students' I think you are referring to are Milt Brown and Ron Plescia. They'd met as senior students in high school, but I think they were about 28 at the time they came up with the Apollo....

There you will find a heading called"Publications" with pages & pages of...

Intermeccanica Italia - Love at first sight

I've seen them several times at the Concorso Italiano during the Monterey Weekend (third weekend in August every year). I did not attend this past year (2006), but I understand they were supposed to...
