CARS

Dear Sophie -

 

CARS - There are only a few cars that I feel belong in the design pantheon.  Here's a handful of my favorites. When I moved to L.A. from N.Y. I kinda studied them.  None of these are terribly practical, but they are beautiful!

Mercedes 280 SE (1969 - 1971)  (yes,our lovely coupe!)

Volvo P1800

BMW 2002

Citroen

Raymond Loewy's Avanti (I almost bought this one, but I literally had to crane my neck to see out the side view mirrors). 

Jeep Wagoneer

VW bus

 

(note the 3/4 angle on the photography...  that's how one shoots a car... )

 

With love,

Mom
