| The other day I
was looking at some photos of an Arnolt-Bristol Bolide and noticed
that the seats looked familiar.
Since that car (photos at
right) was
designed at Carrozzeria Bertone by Franco Scaglione just before or
at about the
same time that he penned B.A.T.-5, the Arnolt bore a resemblance
to the B.A.T., especially at the rear. I wanted to see if that resemblance extended to the
seats, and that seems to be the case.
Whether Scaglione designed
the seats himself or just bought the same off-the-shelf seats from
a supplier, I don't know.
Here are some photos,
below, of
the Arnolt seats and the B.A.T.-5 seats. I think you'll agree
that, barring stuffing differences, they seem to be from the same
source. |
