The Cadillac NART Zagato, a UFO from the 60s

Even though the luxury division of General Motors strove to produce ever more imposing models at the end of the 60s, a UFO appeared out of the blue in 1968. The Cadillac NART Zagato was the fruit of the imagination of an Italian body designer that Luigi Chinetti brought to life.

At the same time, he founded the NART, the North American Racing Team, in which the Ferrari 250 excelled, especially in Le Mans. In 1968, he pushed open the doors of GM to propos...

Although the first generation of the Corvette did not attract as many fans as were expected, to the point of making the future of the model uncertain, 1963 would trigger its decisive ascension towards automobile legend. The Corvette C2 abandoned the design and engine of the previous year for more modern lines and breathtaking power.
