    In this Lincoln limousine by Dietrich, one finds careful elegance

    If anyone is curious, Dietrich was the coachbuilder of this model. The automobile company (such as Ford, in this case) would build the chassis, and a coachbuilder would finish it with a body.

    A really interesting fact about Raymond Dietrich, the founder of the company, who was a designer. He came out of retirement in 1962 and designed the Firebird guitar for Gibson, which an iconic electric guitar model.

    This ad is amazing, btw. Beautiful.

      That’s cool info, thanks! I had no idea. I love those weird crossovers where someone shows up in a totally different context.

      Beautiful

      Yeah. The color palette is working for me.
