The OSCA 1600 GT Swift by Carrozzeria Boneschi.
The OSCA 1600 GT Swift was built by Carrozzeria Boneschi and designed by Rodolfo Bonetto taking up his “Linea Tesa” design language. Unveiled at the 1961 Turin Auto Salon, it is presumed that 3 speciments were built. 2 are currently located in Australia.
At the turn of the 60s, Carrozzeria Boneschi, together with the designer Rodolfo Bonetto, gave life to a stylistic movement called “Linea Tesa”. As the name suggests, this design style features knife edged lines and clean cuts, in contrast with the trends of the time. This bravery shown by Carrozzeria Boneschi was not rewarded by success, but it was somehow a precursor of the 70s and 80s style.
