Saw a new Abarth like this one:

Avanti - designed by Raymond Loewy - who did all kinds of stuff from planes to trains to pencil sharpeners ... LOL

I saw one of those yesterday in a restoration shop. I'll post a picture once I do an image dump from my camera. Also in the shop was a stripped down Porsche 356 and some other interesting hardware.
