Nice find, well shot and edited and sweet looking early GT.  Pity about the V8 engine noise dubbbed in. Damn the scenery was spicy  ;D

The shoes to me are ok, I find his 4" short pants more a worry  ;D or is that 'cool' these days ?

Davidm1600

Yeah not so sure about those short long pants but suspect, like the shoes perhaps they are supposed to be cool.  Obviously I 'm not. 

Now as wonderful as the GT is and for a supposed architect, and perhaps Derek may  have a view on this, but perhaps an even more uber cool car for such a technical artist, might in fact be a Giulia sedan  ;D ;D ;D.  I am hedging my bets by having an example of each.

Yep you're spot on Dave. I know an older German architect and he says the Giulia Super was the car to have back in the day.

Ok, I e-mailed a few old time 'cool' Architects I know and the list of cars they either aspired to have or did infact own in the late sixties early seventies are as follows:
Citroën DS
Jaguar E-type
BMW Coupe (2002's and 3.0's)
Mercedes 300SL
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Alfa GTV
Porsche 356 / 901
Fiat X1/9, Fiat 500
Volvo P1800
Lotus Elan+2
Ferrari Dino 246
VW karmann ghia

Impressive list of iconic cars.
I can't tell you how many Architects I know or have met that own or have owned a 105 series Alfa. The two I have owned were been previously owned by Architects and I sold one of them to an Architect.
Clearly petrol head Architects value aesthetics over pragmatism. :P

I don't know about you guys but down here in Hobart a non turbo SAAB was known as a Sandy Bay Holdens (Sandy Bay being a upper shunter river side suberb) while the turbo versions were known as Swedish vacumn cleaners  ;D
