At its world debut today at the Geneva Motor Show, the Sergio joins the brand that has so marked the history of Pininfarina: Ferrari. Universally known as Master of Italian style, the signature of Sergio Pininfarina left its imprint on the whole history of design with his creative genius, from the age of the great bodyworks to modern industry, often anticipating trends.

  • Buick Car Wiki the Buick Skylark Is a Passenger Car Produced by Buick
    Buick car wiki The Buick Skylark is a passenger car produced by Buick. The model was made in six production runs, during 46 years, over which the car's design varied dramatically due to changing technology, tastes, and new standards implemented over the years. It was named for the species of bird called skylark. Created to mark Buick's 50th anniversary, [2] the Roadmaster Skylark joined the Oldsmobile 98 Fiesta and Cadillac Series 62 Eldorado as top-of-the-line, limited-production specialty convertibles introduced in by General Motors to promote its design leadership. Nevertheless, many languished in dealer showrooms and were eventually sold at discount. Production ran for two years. Based on the model 76R two-door Roadmaster convertible, the Skylark designated model 76X had identical dimensions except height , almost identical appearance, shared its drive train, and had all its standard equipment, plus its few remaining options, including power windows, power brakes, full carpeting, and a "Selectronic" AM radio. It debuted full-cutout wheel openings, a styling cue that spread to the main Buick line. Accenting its lowered, notched beltline was a new " Sweepspear " running almost the entire length of the vehicle, a styling cue that was to appear in various forms on many Buick models over the years. The Skylark was handmade in many respects. Only stampings for the hood, trunk lid, and a portion of the convertible tub were shared with the Roadmaster and Super convertibles. All Skylark tubs were finished with various amounts of lead filler. The inner doors were made by cutting the 2-door Roadmaster's in two then welding the pieces back together at an angle to produce the rakish door dip.
