<div>Hi Guys--</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I haven't figured out how to post these to the whole group yet. If
someone wants to do that, go for it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of course, we've all heard about the Italian influence on Gerald Palmer's
design of the Magnette family.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I first saw one of these Lancia Aurelia's in a museum, and from a distance,
literally thought it was our beloved Magnette. The closer I got, it was
eery how similar it was. I even posted some pics of that car to some of
you back then.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is neat little article about the Aurelia, to the point of mentioning
the inspiration it provided to Gerald Palmer. What I didn't know was how
advanced the car was: first production V6, some firsts in the suspension,
first production car to use radial tires, rear mounted transaxle.</div>
