https://www.ebay.com/itm/TOURING-SUP...-/221699251801 I think this car is on page #274 ? Touring was significant in coachbuilding for their fundamental contributions to autobody design and air flow. Their patented "superleggera" building technique eliminated wood/timber framing inside the body work, replacing it with angle iron, steel channel and steel formed sections all welded together into a unit structure. And they also patented a number of air flow vent designs for the auto and aircraft body work. But personally, I think the beauty of some of their autobody designs is unrivalled among any of the leading coachworks, worldwide. (My own favorite is the Flying Star, which resurfaced some years ago at Pebble Beach.)
