Hi guys Bertone one of the oldest design company's has been declared bankrupt and has folded. http://www.carpoint.com.au/news/lamborghini/bertone-bankrupt-44678

How sad.... How does a company get that far in debt before they realize something drastic needs to happen? Sounds similar to a gambling addict!

I guess if they were doing styling for Cherry then something was VERY wrong!

Read article Bertone died in 97 (The Italian car design house was founded in 1912 in Turin by Giovanni Bertone. His son Nuccio Bertone took the reins in the 1950s, and after Nuccio's death in 1997 his widow Lilli Bertone headed the company.) His wife ran it into the ground .
