Re: [DML] Re: Bricklin



Wow, would you know where to find the sides from Herb Grasse? Or even
Giugiaro of ItalDesign? Now that would be a slide show I would LOVE to watch! By the way, where did you get this info?

Dear DML,
The initial DeLorean Motor Cars LTD retained and contracted with the very
best that the automotive industry had to offer. DeLorean hired leading firms
with professional automotive engineers, designers with countless years of
professional experience. The Bricklin car on the other hand is an interesting
concept.
Herb Grasse was an antique literature dealer in Cave Creek Arizona. He
was also one of Malcolm Bricklin' right hand men and chief designer of the
Bricklin automobile. When I purchased a substantial amount of literature and
books from him, he said that his Bricklin involvement led him to John
DeLorean in 1974-1975 just at the time DMC was formed.
Evidently, John DeLorean had contacted him to design a sketch of the
DeLorean Safety Vehicle concept....Herb had prepared a slide show, and
sketched design elements of John DeLoreans' concept....DeLorean was not
impressed with the Bricklin Vehicle, company, or the concept and design that
the young designer sketched.
The winner of the bid and designer of the DeLorean was Giugiaro of
ItalDesign. ItaLDesign is one of the most renown industrial design studios
specializing in primarily automotive and industrial design. Many of the
automotive upper echelon in the business have contracted ItalDesign to sketch
their cars, like Lexus GS 400, Lotus, Bugatti, DeTomaso Mangusta, and
DeLorean.
