With designing the Arnolt Bristol at Bertone, Franco Scaglione styled a real masterpiece. Most of these cars were sold in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome back to a new part of our monthly Automotive Art section with photographer and light artisan Bill Pack. He puts a special spotlight onto the design of classic and vintage cars and explains his interpretation of the styling ideas with some interesting pictures he took in his own style. The September edition features the amazing Arnolt Bristol Bolide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Into The Mind Of The Designer – by Bill Pack<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It is easy to learn lots of facts and information about any automotive designer. We learn what great shops they worked for, what model of cars they designed and the innovations they have brought to the industry. We know about them, but we do not know them. With my imagery I attempted to get into the soul and spirit of the designer. By concentrating on specific parts of the car and using my lighting technique, I attempt to highlight the emotional lines of the designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arnolt Bristol Bolide – Designed by Franco Scaglione<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

When viewing the art of Franco Scaglione, is it a surprise to learn that his early years were spent sketching clothing for fashion houses? I surmise that these were the formative years that shaped his design. Building his ascetic foundation for the level of refinement and sophistication that has become synonymous with the name Scaglione.

As an image maker, challenges are what drive me to new discoveries. The Arnolt Bristol was one of these challenges for Scaglione. Carrozzeria Bertone was presented a chassis and engine complete with three single barrel Solex 32 carburetors, creating a very tall engine,<\/span> by Bristol. This created a complex aerodynamic and styling challenge. What resulted from Scaglione was pure genius. It is a beautiful blend of aerodynamics and refined stylings.

Giovanna, his daughter, said of him: \u201cAerodynamics were his muse, but he always combined them with elegance. He reconciled his technical training as an aeronautical engineer with an innate taste for beauty.\u201d

The phrase \u201can innate taste for beauty\u201d in my mind is the tour de force behind\u00a0 Scaglione. His designs had to be technically the best, but they had to be beautiful. If innate beauty were not the guiding force for Scaglione, the Arnolt Bristol would no doubt be an ugly beast. Because of Bertone\u2019s astute assessment of a young Franco Scaglione we have beauty, art and a rare gem to behold.

As you view my art imagery of the 1954 Arnolt Bristol Bolide, rediscover Scaglione, his lines, eye and Scaglione\u2019s innate taste for beauty.
