Why The Junior Zagato Is The Coolest Alfa Romeo Ever

There was a time when the uncompromising vision of a talented designer could result in a car that looked ten or even 15 years ahead of its time: the #AlfaRomeo #Junior #Zagato. The result looks still so strikingly contemporary that's believed the design of the Honda CRX from the 1980s was inspired by it.
Spada's vision was uncompromising, almost brutal: no gratuitous ornamentation, not one line more than strictly necessary. The result looks still so strikingly contemporary that's hard to believe the original Bertone Junior and the Junior Zagato actually coexisted, sold alongside one another.
Perhaps my favorite detail of all is the extremely #modern way Ercole Spada integrated the Alfa Romeo shield into his #design: it's merely a cut-out in the headlight's transparent cover. It's not actually there, but its presence is suggested, implied on a kind of secondary aesthetic level.
