Unseen images presented at the Sliding Pillar – a\u00a0B24 as photo chase car in the 1955 Moto Giro in Italy<\/p><\/div>\n

The Sliding Pillar Rally in\u00a0Molsheim, France, is the premier Lancia gathering of the year. Started in England \u00a0some 25 years ago\u00a0by Ade Rudler, the Pillar\u00a0has grown ever since. It is held every other year in Europe, typically at the end of May, with\u00a0about 70 older cars present this year. Lambdas, Dilambda, Astura, Artena, Aprilia, Ardea, Aurelia, Flaminia, Fulvia, and Flavias were all present, with people from Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, England, Italy, US, and Australia (probably missing a few). People brought copies of their book for signing, one man having made a wooden box to protect his copy while traveling. The\u00a0presentation to about 40 people included additional material not in the book, with family shots, more details on engineering aspects, and some racing shots not seen before. Of interest were the shots of the B24 Spider serving as a photographer’s chase car for the Italian Moto Giro.<\/p>\n

Another presentation took place on June 30 at The Arts Club of Chicago, a meeting place for those interested in the arts in Chicago\u00a0with\u00a0a long history promoting progressive art.\u00a0A\u00a0talk was given to about 70 people, \u00a0covering the high points of the 1950s in the book. The talk was oriented toward\u00a0design, and\u00a0Lancia was presented\u00a0as a model of a mid-sized, fully integrated, design-oriented manufacturing company. Following the presentation, a conversation was led by\u00a0Michael Darling, wearing two hats: one as Curator of Art of\u00a0a notable\u00a0museum in Chicago, the other as a fan of Italian cars. It was fun to have\u00a0the combination of art and industrial design take place in discussion. People enjoyed the 1950s photos, noting them as delightfully seductive.\u00a0The presentation was described as follows:<\/p>\n

Widely recognized as a high point of industrial design, Italian automobiles of the 1950s are\u00a0highly treasured. But why are they so special, and how were they made? Among the most\u00a0interesting were those from Lancia in Turin, whose cars were known to be among the most\u00a0technically advanced in the industry. Join\u00a0Geoff Goldberg<\/strong>, Chicago architect and author of\u00a0<\/em>Lancia and De Virgilio, a detailed book on this company, its people, and its cars, as he shares\u00a0how engineers at Lancia defined a company during its greatest years, followed by a discussion\u00a0with\u00a0Michael Darling<\/strong>, James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art\u00a0Chicago. \u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
