Tom Tjaarda

My apologies it's the Corvette Rondine in 1963 Rob6145

Tom has designed a bunch of cars besides the Pantera, including:

Fiat (now Pininfarina) 124 Spider
Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 California Spider (Pinin Farina)
Shelby Series II

Or better yet, just do google search. You'll be amazed. By the way he is still actively involved in new vehicle design, eg, the Shelby Series II, and others.

Another famous person was involved in the design of the Pantera, Gian Paolo Dallara. He designs Indy Cars today. Also worth a Google search.

They said during the auction of the Rodine that Tom Tjaarda's father John (I hope thats right) designed the 1935 Lincoln Zepher, looks like the apple didnt fall far from the tree!
