Pininfarina's styling has not been seen in an American auto since he designed the Ambassador and Healey models for the Nash Motor Co. in the early 1950s.

"We do everything that a commercial lab does," notes Orth. "We have to be able to do anything and everything the company needs." Indeed, says TIME Picture Editor Arnold Drapkin, "the Photo Lab really comes through for us. During the U.S. invasion of Grenada last October, we received...
