GTP Cool Wall: 1963-1974 Iso Grifo

[Roger the Horse]

Quintessential.

 

[synchromesh]

Sub-zero, beautiful and has that classic vibe.

 

[Luminis]

An incredibly beautiful car. Add the nice V8 soundtrack and you've got a winner, imho. Same reason a De Tomaso Pantera is SZ.

 

[jacnob]

Got a cool from me.

 

[Ken]

A solid SZ from me.

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

Ooooooh, a wild new dream car appears...

Sub Zero

 

[Tyger]

Just a boring note about the name, it's pronounced Eeso Greefo rather than Eye-so Gry-fo as many would have it. Cano is of course correct about the full name too, though this always confused me a bit as there was also a model called the Rivolta (a bit like the Aston Martin Lagonda Lagonda perhaps?)

 

[ToyGTone]

Sub Zero all the way.

I just noticed it's got the same rear lights as the Alfa Romeo Junior. I knew there was something familiar with its backside.

Both of these assesments are correct. The brand's full name is Iso Rivolta. When I was searching for pictures when I tried to nominate this very car, only to find out I was beaten to it like a drum, I found a extremely cool picture of an original engine in one of these with the stock valve covers, and they said Iso Rivolta. You know you rule the universe when your small-block sez Iso Rivolta on the valve covers.

There are plenty of reasons this deserves SZ votes, and most of them are listed in this thread. One important one that's missing though: the name. Such a sexy-sounding name deserves to be said more often. Just imagine the [attractive person] walking by and asking what this glorious machine is, and you can slowly draw out this glorious combination of letters with the assuredness of a Bond villain.

That, and the fact Iso initially made fridges makes it sub zero.

 

[Conza]

Hmm, headlights in the grille. Some people love em, not me, so I only voted cool. I think the rest of the body is fantastic, but the nose lets it down for me.
