Photo Gallery «Giovanni Michelotti, the workaholic among sheet metal cutters»
According to available information, Giovanni Michelotti (October 6, 1921 to January 23, 1980) is said to have designed over 1200 cars. That is an astonishing number. And even if you include all the minor facelifts or variations, his influence is far greater than the fame of his name. The BMW 700 styled by Michelotti, for example, was the lifeline of the white-blue brand and shaped the brand image for years to come. This article explores Michelotti's work and shows some of his well-known and lesser-known designs, as well as Michelotti at work in over 90 pictures, some of which have never been shown before.
