So beautiful to see this, fortunate to be alive and still see this and not sure if my grandkids will ever be able to know how much MAN WORK and passion this cars had. Perfect video Petrolicious.

[@richiebrz1670]

There’s something beautiful, poetic even seeing these men shape metal with they’re hands. Truly inspirational!

Save some money if you're in Europe go knock on their door and say "please show me" even if you last a few weeks, nobody can and will give you these skills and much less the experience you gain even in a few weeks !

@@Dan4x2282 that's what I've been doing mate. One man who makes panels in Dublin is interested in meeting me and talking about an apprenticeship when the restrictions ease, fingers crossed

@@laboratoriolopane Non c'è nulla da ringraziare, siete voi che dovete essere ringraziati per quello che fate. Sarebbe anche il caso che gli artigiani come voi venissero aiutati e tutelati dallo Stato italiano. Voi e gli altri preziosi artigiani italiani, siete l'oro del nostro Paese. Non scordatelo mai.

The aforementioned Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni (Carrozzeria Touring), one of the Lords of the Italian bodywork... I remember his ex cathedra lectures at the Politecnico di Milano, when he courageously told us about the successes but also the sad period of Touring's failure. Bravi Lopane

Back in the day in Italy ,we had coachbuilders /small car factory fro A to Z ,until late 90's you still had Giannini ,Scioneri ,Coriasco,Moretti that used to sell Fiat with alcantara,leather seats ,sport steering wheels ,and allow wheels ,different painting and light bodykit .

[@laboratoriolopane]

story goes like that, we lost something important and nobody cares on it, thanks for remember us,maybe is not to late to think about again on past mistakes

Yes yes art and all but its ineficient and has tons of flaws and drawbacks . I respect people who make them but people that would drive on a public road a car like that are idiots . Nobody can fix it other than the ones that made it . Plus lets be serious its italian , i hope they fill it up with electricity ;)

Are you kidding ?? XD all vintage classic cars were made like this, what idiots you are talking about?cars are made to drive on the streets ,english cars's electricity are not kidding by the way.

[@laboratoriolopane]

@@mikemayers9353 Hello Mike, thanks for share with us your idea. After a full restoration, cars come back on roads again after hard test and check, by the law authority. After it, this procedure is to do every 2 years So, the feeling about classic car circulation is safe and strong here in Italy and also in Europe mainland In some case we work on safety keeping originality just a very little step behind So don't worry about it!
