This truly unique car is
the one off 1969 Farago Pontiac CF 428 concept, owned by Frank Campanale
of Orchard Lake, Michigan. The car was designed by Frank Campanale's
uncle Paul Farago in 1969 as a styling exercise and prototype for the
establishment of Farago's Coggiola coach building company. Hence the
"CF" for Coggiola Farago. Paul Farago was a Chrysler Engineer and had
supervised the construction of the Chrysler Ghia cars in the 1950's and
60's. He also helped design the Maserati Ghibli, which is similar in
appearance to the long hood short deck design of the Farago Pontiac CF
428.
The
Farago Pontiac CF 428 was built using a 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix. The car
retains much of its Pontiac Grand Prix parts including exterior tail
lights, doors handles, back glass, and interior. Best of all, the car
retains its Pontiac powered 428 V8 motor and drive train. The car's
current rolling stock consists of Firestone LXX wheels and tires (which
were sold as a set at Firestone dealers in the late 60's/early 70's). The car remains in excellent condition today and has been shown at various Concours shows including the famous Meadowbrook Concours dElegance.
