Pixar’s Motorama is pretty cool. The fact that a corporation would even expend resources on an event like this in todays world of disappearing perks is hard to believe. Pixar’s grounds are perfect for this sort of thing -from the long and wide, tree-shaded approach to reception, seemingly meant to be lined with cars, to the grassy knoll they set up for dining, to the spacious atrium where motorcycles, scooters and Bicycles can be put on display and one can escape the elements -someone knew what they were doing when they designed this space.
This 1970 Monteverdi Hai 450SS is currently in Fantasy Junction’s inventory at a little over a million dollars. FJ is about 100 yards form Pixar so they roll a couple cars over every year. Metallic purple/pink with white interior. There aren’t rock stars these days worthy of a car like this. Jeff imagines Robert Plant circa 1974 in a fur coat on Sunset Blvd could pull this car off.
This Fiat was one of my favorites. I’ve got a thing for stationwagons (especially goofy early 60’s ones), a thing for gray cars, a thing for original black plate cars and as I find myself checking out Fiats more and more while casually browsing eBay and Craigslist, I guess I’m developing a thing for fiats. And why not, you can get a lot of car for your money.
