There are many avenues that we as Petrolisti can travel to learn more about our hobby and the personalities surrounding it. And with so much information online, it is easier than ever. But that cornucopia of knowledge can also choke you with conjecture, speculation, and complete fabrication. That’s why it’s refreshing to encounter men who are researching their subject by going straight to the primary sources before it’s too late. In this case, interviewing the legends of auto design.
“Almost everything we know about cars, we conclude unconsciously from its [sic] silhouette, face, details… Isn’t than [sic] strange that people who shaped our dreams through design stay virtually unknown?” ask Messrs. Gianluca Migliarotti and Daniel Tomičić.
We couldn’t agree more and that’s why we enthusiastically support Driving Dreams, their project, which is exploring and seeks to document the second golden age of design (1950s-early 1970s) by speaking to “some of the best automotive designers of all time… top stars of the past who never received right credit for their work” and “engineers who are turned designers’ ideas into reality… craftsmen who created cars by hand and… with passionate owners, the petrol-heads.”
That makes sense to us, and we would love to see a quality documentary that highlights the men who sketched, sculpted, and shaped our automotive dreams. Watch the video below for more details, and click here to help fund the Driving Dreams’ Indiegogo project if you’re interested. There are less than three weeks left!
