1973 Iso Grifo GL Series II

Renzo Rivolta started building Isothermos refrigerators before World War II. Following the war, Rivolta recognized Italy’s need for transportation and named his new car company Iso Rivolta, alongside some of the most talented automotive designers in the country, including Giotto Bizzarrini and Giorgetto Giugiaro. Prior to the creation of the company bearing his name, Rivolta built scooters and then the famous Isetta bubble cars, which were later built by BMW. With the proceeds of the BMW deal, Rivolta resolved to build a GT car. The Iso Rivolta, a Bertone-styled four-seat coupe, appeared in 1962 at the Turin Motor Show and was built near Milan. The sportier two-seat Grifo was sold from 1965 to 1974.
