Carrozzeria Pininfarina is an automobile coachbuilder and specialty vehicle maker in Turin, Italy. Founded by famed designer, Battista Pininfarina, who stood only 5ft tall and gained the nickname Pinin - "kid" - which late in life he officially added to his birthname, Farina, explaining the 'F' the badge carries. The company is today run by his son, Sergio, and long-time CEO, Renzo Carli. Many other designers have worked with the company, which has become the most famous design and concept car constructor of the present time.

Pininfarina in the USA

After World War II, several automotive manufacturers opened talks with Pininfarina. Close collaboration began with Nash Motors. In 1952, Pininfarina was in the United States for the unveiling of the Ambassador that he had designed. Moreover, the Nash-Healey sports car was an international effort that was built in limited series at Pininfarina's Turin plant from 1952 to 1954. Because of the marketing efforts by Nash Motors, this was the first time in the history of American automakers that the name of an automobile designer became famous. The agreements with Nash resulted in high volume production of Pininfarina designs and it was a major entry into the U.S. market. In the late 80's Pininfarina designed and partially manufactured for General Motors (the car bodies were stamped, assembled and painted in Italy before being flown twice a week to Detroit for final assembly) the famous convertible-coupé Cadillac Allanté.
