Introduced at the 1955 Turin Motor Show - the Lincoln'Indianapolis was badged as “An Exclusive Study by Boano Torino.” The futuristic design was inspired by jet aircraft of the day. The result was a flamboyant, bold and yet elegant. Its orange color certainly made it stand out!
In 1954 Henry Ford II hired Italian Gian Paolo Boano to construct a one-off show car on a new Lincoln chassis.
This is the result – the stunning 1955 Lincoln Indianapolis.
The car was first exhibited at the 1955 Turin Motor Show. As you can see from the pic, the design is very futuristic, and was inspired by 1950s aviation. The result was a flamboyant and bold concept.
After the Indianapolis was shown in Turin, it was sent to the United States where it was consigned back to Henry Ford II. After using it as his personal car for more than a year, it is believed that Ford gave the car to his friend, Errol Flynn. По материалам: www.italiantribune.com; www.jaylenosgarage.com
