...Rome-to-Sicily road race last year, top-heavy Cinemactress Anita Ekberg, in her blue Lancia Flaminia sports car with Italian Actor Antonio Gerini at the wheel, rolled into the town of Castrovillari, was soon surrounded by ogling male fans; in the crush and Gerini's subsequent attempts to drive on, ten fans were slightly injured. Last week she explained it all to a Calabrian court. After conceding that she is 28, Anita admitted to an admiring judge-and packed courtroom-that she had bowled over a few of the boys. But she staunchly denied that a popped button...
Drafted into a road race for glamorous types who sped for publicity from Rome to Sicily, bosomy Cinemactress Anita Ekberg teamed up with willing Italian Cinemactor Antonio Gerini, set forth in her blue Lancia Flaminia roadster. In the southern town of Castrovillari, the couple tooled abreast of a human roadblock-a group of Anita's male partisans, who screamed, pounded on the car and tried to touch her in order to make sure that she was real. Rattled Driver Gerini tried to bulldoze his way through the idolaters, succeeded in setting off a stampede, gently bowling over a half...
...size and splash brings on snide cracks that the American car is the symbol of American culture: a "dollar grin for all the world." But the real experts-Europe's stylists-are quick to defend the U.S. car. Italy's great Pinin Farina, who designed the beautiful Lancia Aurelia and Alfa Romeo, calls American cars the most comfortable in the world. For the U.S., with its enormous distances and comparatively cheap gasoline, the big. powerful U.S. cars are well designed. The driver who hopes to slip into 50-m.p.h. expressway traffic needs plenty of power just...
...UNESCO. For his young (29) majesty, Samdach Preah Upayuva-reach Norodom Sihanouk, it was a plain case of love at first sight, despite the fact that he was already bulwarked against loneliness by four concubines and ten children. He promptly invited Monique for a spin in his cream-colored Lancia and composed a song for her. Monique responded by quitting school, to the scandalized horror of the French set. As far as they were concerned, Monique had become just another concubine. They gasped twice again when Monique had two babies by the King, then forgot all about...
...added a new one, the Porsche Carrera, named after the Mexican road race which Porsche has dominated in the small sports-car division. The four-cylinder, 115 h.p. Carrera has a top speed of 125 m.p.h. and a price low enough ($4,297) to compete with the Jaguar and Lancia cars. Since its first Sportwagen was produced just six years ago, Porsche has won innumerable speed and endurance titles (420 in 1954 alone). Last year at Mexico's 1,908-mile Carrera Pan-Americana, four-cylinder Porsche Spyder 550s (top speed: 140 m.p.h.) won four out of the first...
