[VintageLambo] Re: Old Lamborghini Design Sketches

Nice to see! Funny how amateur-like the touring sketches are in comparison to the fine "carozzeria" they made. The Bertone work show much more awareness of the visual impact the models were aimed at. One thing that really impresses me with these thirty plus years old designs is the fantastic control the designers seemed to have when dealing with scale. If you look at todays smaller cars they are really huge. I once parked my e-type in front of a vw golf and it looked as if the jaguar was in scale 1:2. Not to mention the new "Mini"... By the way, are the upper ball joints on the front wheel suspension come apart? Mine seems totally stuck from rust. I"m thinking of drilling a hole in the slotted cover to wash out the dried old grease. Then fitting a grease nipple to press new grease in. Any ideas?
