More Pegaso Z-102 Berlina Cúpula Images

As I noted here several years ago, the 1952 Pegaso Z-102 Berlinetta Cúpula is an astonishing, fascinating design.  When it first appeared it was sensational, and it has lost little of that impact nearly 70 years later.  (The Pegaso Wikipedia link is here; scroll down for a snippet about that car).

Its body seems to have been built in a shop in Spain, and not by Italian coachbuilders as was the case for many Z-120s.  The story goes that the design grew out of some suggestions by Spanish students asked to visualize a car of the future.  Even if that was the case, the result strikes me as coming from a professional stylist's hand.  So either one such student was very good or else a professional got involved at some point.

This post contains images of the Berlinetta Cúpula that did not appear in my earlier post.  So far as I can tell, they all are photos taken by individuals in museums or at outdoor car shows.  One image is copyrighted, but I include it because it provides a useful perspective regarding the car's shaping.
