The designer was Dante Giacosa. He was the guy that designed the modern front wheel drive that has become standard in the industry. I still prefer rear wheel drive myself, but his designs shaped the automotive industry.

Not really. It's a tiny thing, like a kei car or a Honda 600 from the same period (see below).

If being an automotive photographer has taught me one thing about automobiles is that presence is important. I like small, nimble, intricate European cars. The BAC Mono is my dream car. I'm the furthest thing from a lover of American Muscle, trucks, Jeep's, etc. However, when I go to photograph these cars/trucks/SUV's that aren't in my wheelhouse I'm always aware of their presence, what they bring to the table even though it's not my flavor. The first time it actually hit me was with the Ferrari Enzo, which I hated in pictures, but IRL it was just so much wow. Same with the 959. Same with so many cars, trucks, and SUV's I can't count now. This truck was like that, to be in it and around it was a nice time, I had fun, but in pictures it's so much meh.

polished perfect
