In this amazing period, Sergio&#8217;s gut-borne aesthetic for the flowing yet aggressive line resulted in some of the most gorgeous (and valuable) automotive constructions ever.<\/p>\n<p>It was also during this period that he turned his hand to a number of short run projects, including a very distinctive pod of custom bodied Corvettes.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the fact that selling his company to the Fiat Group in the sixties &#8211; and subsequently more or less disappearing from view: Scaglietti never moved on from his identity as a classic coach builder &#8211; never getting involved in the the messy businesses of either engineering or marketing &#8211; that he remains a relatively anonymous name in the grand history of Italian car styling.<\/p>\n<p>We think also, that when Ferrari honoured his memory with the name of its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesonline.co.uk\/tol\/driving\/new_car_reviews\/article844613.ece\">2+2 GT the 612 Scaglietti in 2004<\/a>, didn&#8217;t do his name any favours. Despite the aesthetically challenged sensibilities of its detractors, the 612 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/blog\/new-ferrari-unveiled\/\">(soon to be replaced by the FF shooting brake) <\/a>,it was never the best received car to bear the badge of the prancing horse.<\/p>\n<p>We, though, always loved the Long legged 612. For some reason it never photographs well. In the flesh, however, it is a real classic.<\/p>\n<p>No matter. A quick look at the gallery can dispel any doubts remaining that Mr. Scaglietti new how to bend some of the most beautiful steel imaginable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trio
