Photo Gallery «Tom Tjaarda - an American in Turin with a knack for beautiful shapes»
His name is mentioned much less frequently than those of Giorgio Giugiaro, Marcello Gandini or Pietro Frua. Yet Tom Tjaarda helped important cars, including the De Tomaso Pantera, the Fiat 124 Spider and the Ford Fiesta, to develop their lines and designed some of the most beautiful vehicles of all time. This article describes Tom Tjaarda's life in detail, lists his designs and recalls them in pictures.
