Ford Comète - Reason, charm, grace

October 21, 2018 — Bruno von Rotz 138

The Ford Comète, the result of a collaboration between Ford France, Facel Métallon and Stabilimenti Farina, is certainly one of the rarest and most elegant production cars of the French post-war period. With just over 3000 examples produced, it remained a marginal figure, but at least one that made it into the Museum of Modern Art. This report describes the history of the elegant and future-oriented coupé, illustrated with historical and current pictures, as well as contemporary sales literature.

Ten cars of exceptional beauty - exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art 60 years ago

June 7, 2013 — Bruno von Rotz 143

In 1953, the "MoMa" selected ten cars and invited the public to a "non-commercial car exhibition" in New York, which paid homage to the vehicle design of the time. Curator Arthur Dexler presented American, Italian, French, English and German automobiles from the brands Porsche, Aston Martin, Simca, Siata, Lancia, Cunningham, Nash-Healey, Ford, Studebaker and MG, which certainly sparked discussions about the quality and future orientation of car body designs. This report describes the circumstances of the exhibition at that time and shows all ten vehicles presented in over 100 historical and current pictures, supplemented with many vehicle brochures and the original exhibition catalog from 1953.
