Smooth Sailing in the Sea of Vintage Rarity- The 1969 Iso Grifo
Having an awful case of mid-life crisis or simply itching for a plunge into the realm of the retro-terrific? Either way, rest assured, your pursuits have led you to a coveted pearl in the auto world, the 1969 Iso Grifo. And a word of caution: while velvet gloves may be historically apropos, a monocle isn’t necessary for appreciation of this masterpiece, despite its hefty price tag.
Pardon My Bertone, a ‘Giallo’ Grifo Glides onto the Stage
April 21, 1969 – As spring blossomed in the air and the Beatles released their iconic ‘Get Back’ single, this uncannily charming Grifo was birthed in the heart of Nordrhein-Westfalen. Dressed in her glossy “Giallo” yellow gown and adorned with black leather, this Grifo was setting the auto-couture standards high and has out-lived the trends since.
Not Your Ordinary 1969 Iso Grifo
Indeed, the year of ’69 blessed us with an assortment of treats; Led Zeppelin burst onto the music scene, Neil Armstrong strolled on the moon, and Sesame Street aired for the first time (though this Grifo came with neither Muppets nor a moon-rock). Nevertheless, its time-traveling prowess and rarity leaves many vintage enthusiasts wishing they’d taken a left turn at Albuquerque and ended up in the Grifo’s front seat.
The Restoration Marvel by Peerless Workshops
The impeccable restoration performed by expert hands preserves the spirit of the Grifo, making it an authentic, magical carpet ride back to 1969, minus the psychedelic music. Astonishingly, it remains an exceptionally sought after model, or in simple words, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
