“Quattroporte” = “4 doors”

A rather mundane, if not downright unimaginative name, although the first model was released as early as 1963 and was based on a custom bodied 5000GT built for Prince Karim Aga Khan by Frua. Hardly a mundane start.

Regardless, it sounds a lot better in Italian than in German. Can you imagine Mercedes presenting the “450 vier Türen” back in the day?

Anyway, back to business – the 4 doors of the 4 door Quattroporte have been painted. Being a Quattroporte III, only 3 of the doors are visible…

    1. I hope so.

      Every step forward seems to bring something that delays the process by two steps… :-/ But at least it’s getting done, and getting done right.

      That’s the important part.
