Looking for Pininfarina Factory Assemblyline pic

Post by phaetn »

Somewhere sometime online I've seen an old b&w pic of a Pinifarina assembly line that showed Spiders on one side and Ferraris on the other.

For the life of me I can't find it now, and I've used my friend Google as well as searches on FS.com, including links to known Pininfarina history sites:
http://www.globallistics.com/spidersweb ... talgb.html

as well as historical mags about Fiats:
http://www.fiat124spider.it/

I've trolled German sites, official sites, weak fanboy sites but still no luck...

Any help to find the pic would be much appreciated. It was about a 3/4 angle overhead medium shot, if memory serves. There were definitely two assembly lines...

Thanks and cheers,

Thanks, Ari, I think that was the one. Where did you find it?

Those look like Lancia Montecarlos, not Ferraris.

:(

There was one that I saw somewhere that I *think* had Spiders in the background assembly line and Ferraris in the foreground line. I can't swear to it, though. I'm getting to the age where I'm not sure what's real or dreamt. :)

It will turn up eventually....

Thanks everyone!
